Long story short – from driver to drivers
I often drive with navigation displayed on my phone, mounted in a windshield holder. One day I realized I could use it as a dash cam by enabling background recording. I searched Google Play for a stable, easy-to-use app that could record in the background—but none met my needs. So I decided to create my own. Dash Cam Travel is a user-friendly app that turns your phone into a reliable dash cam for everyday driving. Dash cameras are the most objective witnesses on the road.
