Velocity shows your speed, your altitude, and the wind you are riding into. Nothing leaves your phone. SPEED AND ALTITUDE Big numbers you can read from a mount. Show mph, km/h, or both at the same time. Smoothing filters out GPS jitter at low speed. Altitude comes from GPS fused with your iPhone barometer. WIND COMPASS A dial shows wind direction relative to your heading, so you know if you are pushing into a headwind or getting a shove from behind. Built for cyclists and motorcyclists. LANDSCAPE MODE Rotate the phone for a full-width readout on a handlebar or dash mount. VEHICLE PROFILES Pick Car / Motorcycle, Cycling, or Other. Or let Auto Detect read your motion sensors and tune GPS for you. WEATHER Current conditions and a 6-hour forecast from Apple Weather. TRIP RECORDING Record a ride, then review distance, duration, average and top speed, altitude range, a route map, and speed and elevation charts. PRIVACY No account. No login. No analytics. No ads. Your location and trip history stay on your iPhone. The one exception is your current coordinate, sent to Apple Weather to fetch conditions, and only while the weather features are on. Battery Saver drops GPS accuracy to stretch a long ride. Dark mode throughout.
Speedometer GPS

Track your speed, log every drive, and push your limits — all from a beautifully simple GPS speedometer. Speedometer GPS gives you a clean, distraction-free gauge with real insights — trip history, route maps, 0–60 timing, overspeed alerts, and more. Key Features: GPS Speedometer – A precise, real-time speedometer powered by GPS. Switch between a classic analog gauge and a bold digital readout, with live heading, altitude, and signal strength at a glance. Your Units, Your Way – mph, km/h, knots, or m/s — pick what suits you. Choose a Standard scale for everyday driving or Extreme for the track. Trip Tracking – Start a trip and we'll log your distance, duration, top speed, and average speed automatically, then draw your full route on the map. Review every drive in detail, whenever you want. 0–60 Acceleration Timer – Measure your 0–60 mph (or 0–100 km/h) runs with a precision GPS-based timer. Save your best times and chase a new personal record. Overspeeding Alerts – Set a speed limit and get warned the instant you go over, with an on-screen alert plus optional sound and haptics. Keep your eyes on the road, not the gauge. HUD Mode – A night-time heads-up display that mirrors your speed onto the windshield for safe, glanceable driving in the dark. Trip History – Every drive you take, logged and browsable. Filter, review, and relive your routes from day one. Compass & Altitude – A live compass and real-time altitude readout, right alongside your speed. Built to Stay On – The screen stays awake while you drive, so your speed is always there when you glance down. Speedometer GPS is free to download with no ads and no tracking. The core speedometer, unit options, trip tracking with route maps, the 0–60 timer, compass, and recent trip history are completely free. Upgrade to Speedometer Pro to unlock Overspeeding Alerts, HUD Mode, and Unlimited Trip History. Start with a 3-day free trial on the weekly plan, or choose a one-time Lifetime unlock — pay once, own it forever. Safety Disclaimer Speedometer GPS is intended as a convenience and informational tool only. GPS speed and distance readings may be inaccurate and should never be relied upon as your primary source. Always obey your vehicle's speedometer, posted speed limits, and all traffic laws. Never operate the app while driving — set it up before you go and keep your attention on the road. Privacy Speedometer GPS collects no personal data. Your location, trips, and settings stay entirely on your device and are never transmitted anywhere.
