Guides
Fixed speed-camera alerts: what is legal in France
Warning of a fixed camera ahead is allowed; detecting enforcement waves or encouraging speeding is not. What OpenRank signals, and what it does not do.
Telemetry & timesClio 4 RS vs 208 GTi: 6.7 s vs 6.8 s manufacturer
Two 200 hp 2013 hot hatches: Clio 4 RS at 6.7 s, 208 GTi at 6.8 s. What official 0–100 compares (and what it does not) before a GPS run.
Telemetry & timesGolf 7 GTI vs Golf 8 GTI: 6.5 s vs 6.3 s manufacturer
The official 0–100 of the Golf 7 GTI is 6.5 s, the 8 GTI 6.3 s. Mass, power, DSG: what the catalogue says, and how to compare on GPS.
ProductReading an OpenRank trip: history, XP and clubs
After a GPS trip, where to read speed, the trace, XP and how to join a club. OpenRank product guide, with no invented community numbers.
Telemetry & timesBMW M3 F80 vs Audi RS3 8V: 4.1 s on both sides
The M3 F80 and RS3 8V both quote 4.1 s 0–100 km/h. 431 hp RWD vs 400 hp AWD: the official figure matches, a real GPS run will not.
Alerts & drivingOpenRank vs Waze vs Coyote: telemetry, traffic, cameras
Waze for traffic, Coyote for a camera subscription, OpenRank for GPS telemetry and clubs. What each app does (and does not) in France.
Alerts & drivingA Waze alternative for car enthusiasts
Waze is built for Sunday-evening traffic. OpenRank adds telemetry, rankings and clubs, with nav and fixed speed-camera alerts — free, no ads.
Alerts & drivingFree speed-camera alert app with no subscription
OpenRank warns you about fixed cameras ahead, with no subscription and no ads. What is legal in France, what the app does not do, and how it differs from Waze.
Alerts & drivingCommunity danger-zone warners: what to expect
“Danger zone” does not mean a mobile-camera detector. What community apps offer, the legal frame in France, and OpenRank’s choice (fixed cameras, free).
Telemetry & timesHow to measure 0–100 km/h accurately
A smartphone GPS 0–100 is not the manufacturer figure. Protocol: launch, slope, accuracy, and how OpenRank times a trip.
Telemetry & timesWhich GPS telemetry app on iPhone and Android?
Track vs daily telemetry: what you actually need (speed, G, history, clubs) and where OpenRank sits versus paid lap-timing apps.
Telemetry & timesSmartphone GPS accuracy for timing a 0–100
An iPhone or Android is not a VBOX. Sample rate, smoothing, urban canyons: what a phone GPS time is really worth, and how OpenRank uses it.
