Really Simple Speedometer is a very basic way to display the speed that your device (and you...) are travelling at. Choose to either show only the speed in a unit that fits you (meters per second, kilometers per hour, miles per hour or knots) and if you want to see the lat/lon, elevation and horizontal accuracy of your device. Keep it simple, keep it really simple speedometer!

The speedometer your dashboard wishes it was. APEX SPEED turns your iPhone into a beautiful, glanceable GPS speedometer for motorcycles, cars and boats. PRECISE GPS SPEED Speed comes straight from GPS doppler measurements β€” typically more accurate than your vehicle's own speedometer. Works in km/h, mph and knots. BUILT FOR THE HANDLEBAR High-contrast designs made for sunlight, portrait and landscape, and a screen that stays awake while you ride. Tap to switch designs mid-ride. TEN DESIGNS INCLUDED OR BUY MORE From clean digital to neon glow, carbon race, retro needle dial, aviation HUD and a classic LCD alarm-clock look. Two designs are free; unlock the rest individually or get everything with APEX+. DESIGN YOUR OWN (STUDIO) Unlock Studio and build your own speedometer: choose layout, digit font, colors, glow and background β€” with live preview. NORWEGIAN ROAD INTELLIGENCE In Norway, APEX SPEED shows the posted speed limit styled to match your design, warns you before fixed speed cameras, and clearly tells you when you're inside an average-speed control zone β€” with your running average. You choose which alerts you want, and whether they vibrate or chime. Data: Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NVDB), NLOD license. TRIP LOG Every ride is saved on your phone: route map, distance, max and average speed, ride time. Your data never leaves your device. RIDE EXTRAS Lean angle and G-force from your phone's motion sensors, compass heading, and local weather on the home screen. Speed is measured by GPS and may differ from your vehicle's instruments. Always obey posted limits and local traffic laws.
