## What is GPS Odometer?

A simple and easy to use odometer. GPS Odometer only does one thing, and does it well: measure distance traveled.

For best results, use outdoors.

Distance units include:
- Kilometers
- Miles
- Nautical miles

- Feet

Speed units include:
- Kilometers per hour
- Miles per hour
- Nautical miles per hour

- Approximates distance traveled in some GPS dead spots (such as driving through a tunnel) by adding the as-a-bird flies distance to your trip.

Please also note:
- GPS Odometer does run in the background if you leave it running.  Be sure to pause the trip when you are finished or battery life will be negatively affected.  The timer stops when the trip is paused.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-06-01*

Perfect for what I was looking for. Thanks for keeping it simple

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-12-28*

I wanted a simple free app to record how far and how long I biked everyday. It gives me that and more although I don’t use other features. I find it accurate, easy to read, simple to use and free! No subscriptions or bumps. For me it’s 2 thumbs up and 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Top

*2024-12-05*

App tut was sie soll. Hat mir gut geholfen. Ich schreibe für gewöhnlich keine Rezessionen, oder nur sehr selten, aber bei 3,1 von 5 Sternen wollte ich doch meine Zufriedenheit zum Ausdruck bringen. Für mich hat das wirklich was gebracht, vielen Dank dafür.

### 5/5 — Highly recommended

*2024-09-01*

I needed an accurate odometer to follow routes in VMCC events on my motorcycle. Others I looked at stopped after a while to display an advert thus making them impossible to use. The distance recorded is accurate and the display large enough to be seen. This app does exactly what I needed.

### 5/5 — Great for my particular need

*2024-06-12*

As a guide to my distance traveled on my mobility scooter whilst walking my dog it’s excellent thank you .

### 1/5 — Feet

*2024-05-08*

I wish I could change it to feet .. instead of miles.

**Developer response:** Hi there, This has been possible for 9 years.  Directly on the app's home screen the user can cycle through layout settings for distance : 1) long (miles in your case) 2) short (feet in your case) 3) both (miles and feet in your case)    There is a more thorough explanation in the app's setting page under 'layout settings'.

### 5/5 — Génial l’isométrie

*2023-10-07*

Nous sommes en Grèce et suivons un Road Book de Vibraction le RB32 et pour ce qui est des distances après avoir galéré un peu nous avons téléchargé l’application et depuis c’est impeccable nous sommes au top merci

### 4/5 — great application. One feature missing

*2023-07-10*

Easy to use, and does the job.
I would appreciate a feature allowing to modify manaully the measured distance : when you follow a roadbook, you can sometimes take the wrong way. Driving back to the intersection where you made the mistake, it would be helpful to enter the distance noted on the roadbook.

### 5/5 — Ottima

*2023-03-13, version 2.7*

Semplice, fa quello che deve, senA farmi sentire un cyborg. Mi piace!

### 2/5 — U
