The track line can also be redrawn on the map.

Explore even more unique and useful functions with the Speedometer GPS And Compass app! For some devices without GPS module, you can ignore the speed in the settings to record the trajectory. In situations where devices lack a GPS module or where GPS functionality is unreliable, users may have the option to ignore speed settings when recording trajectories. This means that the device will record the path taken without factoring in speed data. This can be useful in scenarios where the primary concern is tracking the route or path followed rather than the speed at which the user or device is traveling.
