RealSpeed2 is a clean, no-nonsense GPS speedometer for your iPhone. Open the app and immediately see your real-time speed in km/h, large and readable at a glance β perfect for cycling, running, driving, or just satisfying curiosity. KEY FEATURES β’ Real-time GPS speed in km/h, with the decimal automatically hidden above 100 km/h for a clean display. β’ Personal best (Vmax) tracker, persisted across app launches and resettable with a single tap. β’ Detailed GPS panel: latitude, longitude, raw GPS speed, and a Haversine-calculated speed for cross-checking your readings. β’ Update counter and timestamp so you can confirm your GPS lock is active and fresh. β’ Screen stays on while the app is open so you don't lose your reading mid-ride. β’ Optional map showing where you are, with your beacons from the Beacons app. PRIVACY FIRST β’ The app never sends your location anywhere. The optional map loads its imagery from Apple Maps. β’ No analytics, no ads, no tracking SDKs, no accounts. β’ Only the permission you grant is "While Using the App" β nothing in the background. WHY REALSPEED2 Most speedometer apps bury the main number under ads, paywalls, or distracting widgets. RealSpeed2 keeps the speed front and center and leaves everything else optional. It's the app I built for myself because nothing else was simple enough. REQUIREMENTS β’ iPhone with iOS 15 or later β’ GPS signal (works best outdoors, with a clear view of the sky) Questions or feedback: cabbry@icloud.com
