Trip computer, diagnostics, and trip analytics

HobDrive connects to your car through ELM327 and GPS, shows live data while you drive, watches for trouble codes, calculates fuel consumption, and keeps trip history for later analysis.

The important data is always in view

Speed, RPM, temperature, fuel economy, mileage, idle time, and connection status are collected on dashboards you can adapt to a specific car and to your driving style.

  • live OBD-II and GPS data
  • custom sensors, gauges, charts, and indicators
  • day and night themes, HUD, and DashKits
  • phones, tablets, head units, and CarPC installations

On the road

A dashboard that moves with the car

HobDrive keeps the common driving numbers close at hand: instant and average consumption, speed, warm-up, idle time, distance, estimated range, and warnings. Build screens for everyday driving, highway trips, diagnostics, or a night HUD mode.

After the trip

Online analytics turns driving into a readable history

The app accumulates statistics by trips, days, weeks, months, and fuel fill-ups. Cloud upload keeps the latest data available online, so you can review routes on a larger screen and compare fuel use, idle time, speed, and ownership cost.

Diagnostics

Trouble codes and suspicious readings

HobDrive reads and clears diagnostic trouble codes, monitors the MIL state, warns about new errors while you drive, and helps notice overheating, unusual fuel trims, and other problems.

Trouble codes

Active and pending DTCs with descriptions and reset support.

Continuous monitoring

Errors, temperature, and key sensors can be watched during every trip.

Extended ECUs

Support for manufacturer protocols and non-standard control units.

Fuel and ownership

More than MPG: a practical view of how the car is used

HobDrive calculates consumption with several methods for gasoline, diesel, hybrid, and dual-fuel configurations. Warm-up, traffic idle time, consumption without idle periods, trip intervals, and fill-up records are tracked separately.
