## What is GPSSpeed HD?

*** The BEST Speedometer-App in the Store! ***

New: Share tracks between multible devices via iClound

GPSSpeed HD is the ultimate speedometer for all iPhone/iPad with GPS. 

List of features:
* Speedometer with speed profile
* Altimeter with height profile history
* Logs in sleep-mode if the application is running
* Logs in background if supported by iOS
* In statistics, the recorded profiles are available for analysis
* Display the recorded tracks on the map
* Display the current track on the map
(Using maps requires internet connection)
* These routes can be sent as an email in the formats KML, GPX and CSV with including histogram
* Show average speed and track distance
* Display of ascent and descent
* G-Meter

Background GPS tracking needs more power than standby. If the battery power is less than 10% it will stop background tracking!

Please note that for an accurate height measurement, a very good GPS signal is required. This signal is independent of the mobile phone reception.
Within and between buildings, the reception is restricted. When you see just a red signal indicator the GPS reception is to bad.
Please try again with a clear view to the sky.

If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to send an email to appsupport [at] mwaysolutions.com
We will attend to your request as soon as possible.

### 5/5 — Super Tacho & Routen Recorder

*2026-04-09*

Verwende ich für Fahrrad-, Motorradtouren....

Excellenter Routen Recorder
Routen Export ist perfekt.

Danke!

### 1/5 — War super, aber leider keine Updates mehr

*2023-10-06*

Fand die App super! Habe damit alle möglichen Routen getrackt. Egal ob Spaziergang oder Fahrradfahren, man hatte danach viele hilfreiche Informationen und die Route auf der Karte war auch klasse.
Doch seit längerem können keine historischen Daten mehr angezeigt werden, ich kann nicht mal sagen, ob das Speichern noch funktioniert.
Leider war das letzte Update vor 5 Jahren und seitdem hat sich viel in der iOS Welt getan.
Ich schau mich mal nach vergleichbaren Tools um.
Trotzdem Danke für die tolle App!

### 1/5 — Needs Updating 🙏

*2023-04-06, version 2.2.5*

I used to LOVE this app but am so sad that it always crashes with my IOS 16.11. I have deleted and reinstalled a couple of times but the problem continues. Please update. I really miss it.

### 4/5 — Be nice to get an update to fit bigger screen

*2022-04-18, version 2.2.5*

Nice app shame it’s been forgotten about by the developers. A little update so it fits latest iPhone screen sizes would be nice

### 5/5 — Einfach genial!

*2021-04-20*

Herausragend nicht nur die App selbst, sondern die Tatsache, dass sie noch unter iOS 5.1.1 lauffähig und aktuell bleibt. Da sollten sich andere eine Scheibe von abschneiden, deren Software sich mit jeder Abhängigkeit zu höheren Versionen direkt proportional verschlechtert.

### 5/5 — Super GPS Tracker

*2020-08-15*

Meines Erachtens der beste GPS Tracker in Store. War auf iOS13 etwas Zickig. Jetzt Funktioniert alles bestens.

### 3/5 — Okay, aber ...

*2020-05-16*

Okay, aber ... wie kann das GPS Bewegung aufzeichnen wenn dad Handy nur auf dem Tisch liegt. In 2 Min hat die App 200 m aufgezeichnet obwohl keine Bewegung möglich war. Im Vergleich mit einem anderen GPS Tracker kommen auch unterschiedliche Werte raus. Wie kommt das????

### 3/5 — iOS 13???

*2019-10-08*

Die App läuft auf iOS 13 nicht richtig. Bitte updaten

### 1/5 — Absturz

*2019-07-05*

Schade. Lässt dich nicht mehr laden.
Komme an meine gespeicherten Tracks nicht mehr heran. Deshalb nur noch einen Stern

### 1/5 — Stürzt nur noch ab

*2019-05-05*

App lässt sich leider nicht mehr öffnen.
Nutze sie seit sieben Jahren mit Begeisterung und habe mit Entsetzen feststellen müssen, dass diese nicht mehr funktioniert.

Nutze ein iPhoneX mit iOS 12.2

Bitte behebt den Fehler damit diese sonst so perfekte App weiterhin nutzbar ist.
