Speedometer Speed vs Speed

How fast are you going? Open the app and the answer is already there — a big glowing readout of your current speed, straight from GPS satellites, inside a dial that fills as you accelerate. Speedometer GPS turns your phone into a precise digital speedometer for anything that moves: cars, motorbikes, bicycles, e-bikes, scooters, boats, trains, runs — especially the things that never came with a speedometer of their own. A READOUT YOU CAN TRUST A fresh GPS fix every second, smoothed over the last five readings, so the number reads steady instead of twitching. The dial auto-ranges: a fine 0–40 mph scale on a bike, 0–80 or 0–160 on the highway, up to 800 on a plane. A TRIP METER THAT RUNS ITSELF No Start button to remember: open the app and go. A trip begins the moment you move and saves itself after you park: distance, max speed, average while moving, trip time and moving time, each in its own card — as accurate on foot or by bike as in the car. It keeps recording with the screen off — even a drive you start right after locking the phone — and if the app is closed mid-trip it picks the trip back up. End a trip early, or discard it, whenever you like. Screen-off recording uses more battery; you can turn it off in Settings. ON THE LOCK SCREEN AND DYNAMIC ISLAND While a trip records, your speed stays on the Lock Screen, and in the Dynamic Island on iPhones that have one — over Maps or any other app. SPEED LIMIT ALARM Set a limit in Settings. Pass it and the readout turns red, a marker shows on the dial and the phone buzzes and beeps, even on silent — again every ten seconds until you slow down. Presets for city, road and highway limits in km/h, mph or knots. IT TELLS YOU WHEN TO TRUST IT The pill under the number shows live GPS quality — EXCELLENT, GOOD, FAIR or POOR — with the accuracy radius in metres. Fixes worse than ±20 m are shown, but never counted toward a trip. Lose the signal in a tunnel and the readout drops to 0 and says SEARCHING instead of freezing on a stale number. COMPASS AND ALTITUDE Your heading (N, NE, E… plus degrees) and altitude sit right under the readout. HUD MODE A mirrored, full-screen readout on pure black, at full brightness. Lay the phone flat on the dashboard at night and read your speed reflected in the windshield. MADE FOR A CAR MOUNT Turn the phone sideways and the dashboard turns with it: the dial on one side, the trip on the other. The screen stays on while you're moving. TRIP HISTORY, ODOMETER AND ROUTES Trips are kept with their stats and the GPS points you recorded — the latest 100 of them. The Trips screen keeps a lifetime odometer — total distance, top speed and time across every trip — plus totals for the last 7 days, the month and the year to share as a recap card, and draws a thumbnail of each route. Open a trip for a speed-over-time chart and the full route on Apple Maps, coloured by speed, then export it as a GPX file or share a trip card with one tap. A new top speed or a distance milestone earns the card a badge. KM/H, MPH OR KNOTS Metric, imperial, or knots with nautical miles for sailing and boating. It starts in the units your phone uses and remembers your choice. NO PHANTOM DISTANCE GPS drift around a parked phone never adds up, impossible jumps between fixes are thrown out, and max speed comes from the smoothed value, so one glitchy sample can't fake a top speed. WORKS OFFLINE, STAYS PRIVATE Speed comes from GPS satellites, not the network, so the app works in airplane mode, abroad without data, at sea and in the backcountry. No account, no sign-up — your readings and saved trips stay on your phone. Speedometer GPS is free and ad-supported. A one-time Pro purchase removes the ads, unlocks every display colour and exports your trip log as a spreadsheet (CSV); the speedometer, speed alarm, HUD mode, automatic trips and trip history all work fully either way.

Your speed, with character. Speed-O-Meter Pro brings glowing Nixie-style digits and a brass-trimmed analog dial to a GPS speedometer for iPhone and Apple Watch. See your speed at a glance, follow your trip statistics, and keep the final numbers when you finish. CHOOSE YOUR DASHBOARD Switch between digital and analog displays, choose mph or km/h, and use light, dark, or system appearance on iPhone. Portrait and landscape layouts keep the dashboard readable in either orientation. KEEP YOUR TRIPS Start a trip, pause when you need a break, and resume later. Finish while recording or paused to save a summary of distance, recorded time, average speed, and maximum speed. Browse up to 100 saved trips on each device and share completed summaries from iPhone. BRING IT TO APPLE WATCH Choose an analog dial or a digital dashboard with speed, trip distance, recorded time, temperature, and humidity. Record with Watch GPS and synchronize trip state and recent completed summaries with your paired iPhone when connectivity is available. TRIP CONTROLS ON APPLE WATCH Start: switch to the digital dashboard using the style button at the bottom right. Tap either the trip distance or elapsed-time tile to start a new trip when none is in progress. You can then switch back to the analog dial while recording. Pause and resume: in digital mode, tap either trip tile to pause the current trip. Tap again to resume the same trip with its existing statistics. Trip details: on either dashboard, tap the clock with a circular arrow near the top left to open Trips, then select your current trip. Scroll down for Pause trip or Resume trip and Finish and save. In digital mode, you can also press and hold either trip tile to open the current trip's details directly. Finish: tap Finish and save in the trip details to end the trip and keep its summary. You can finish while recording or paused. To review it later, open Trips and select it under Saved Trips. Start your next trip from the digital dashboard. MORE AT A GLANCE The iPhone dashboard includes a compass, GPS status, temperature, conditions, humidity, rain chance, and wind. Choose Celsius or Fahrenheit separately from speed units. Weather is provided by Apple Weather when a location and network connection are available. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF An interrupted locally recorded trip can reopen paused with its saved statistics. Trip summaries are stored on your devices; they do not include a recorded GPS route. Trips started on Apple Watch can record in the background. Pause stops recorded time and distance but keeps Location ready for remote Resume, using some battery. Finish ends background Location. After an app restart, open the Watch app once to restore Location before resuming the recovered paused trip. iPhone trip recording requires the iPhone app to remain active. GPS accuracy depends on your device and reception. The digital display shows zero without valid GPS speed; check the GPS status indicator. All three tubes stay visible. The device where you start a trip remains its recorder. Keep both apps updated to control it from the other device. Buttons show progress while waiting for confirmation, including when the Watch is in the background. Delivery may be delayed; unprocessed requests expire after 30 seconds. If confirmation fails, check the recording app before retrying, and open it if prompted. The Apple Watch label beside the iPhone's speed-unit selector identifies the trip recorder; a muted dot means its latest update is delayed. A temporary disconnection does not transfer recording to the other device. The app is free with ads. No ads appear on the Apple Watch dashboard.
