Groundspeed is a speedometer with an extra big-sized display - designed for parachuting and paragliding. As the name of this app implies, the displayed value is the speed above ground, it's not the air speed. It's nice with other sports too: skating, cycling and running. Or it can be a cool speedometer in your car. The unique 16-segment-digits are the fundament of the extraordinary design. The App offers a variety of controls: - Tap MIN and MAX to reset these values. - Tap the unit to switch the units to mph, knots, m/s and km/h. - Swipe the big speed digits to the left to add one decimal place. - Swipe the big speed digits to the right to hide one decimal place. - Tap the title to show help. - Tap the arrows in the lower right to lock rotation (be sure to lock rotation before you put on your gloves). WARNING: skydiving and paragliding are high risk activities. It's more important to stay safe than to read your speed!
