A new iOS app that I submitted to <strong>App Store<\/strong> a few minutes ago is called <strong>Ride Watch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>When you take a cab ride, you never know that the driver will take the shortest route.  Who knows where a stranger will take you if you fall into sleep after a long night of parting?  Ride Watch lets you monitor your ride, recording GPS positions.  With an in-app purchase, Ride Watch will send you a local notification when your ride deviates from an expected route.  The app will even let you simulate your ride in the past. &nbsp; <!--more--><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<table width=\"464\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"220\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"ios\/software\/ridewatch\/iphone1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"ios\/software\/ridewatch\/thumbnail_iphone1.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"390\" alt=\"iOS Swift iPhone app Ride Watch\"\/><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">Tom Bluewater<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"20\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"220\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"ios\/software\/ridewatch\/iphone3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"ios\/software\/ridewatch\/thumbnail_iphone3.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"390\" alt=\"iOS Swift iPhone app Ride Watch\"\/><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">Tom Bluewater<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<u>Features<\/u><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Create a list of ride destinations.<\/li>\n<li>Select a destination from a list.
