A simple and easy to use odometer. GPS Odometer only does one thing, and does it well: measure distance traveled. Ideal for almost anything that requires measuring outdoor distance traveled such as walking, running, driving, boating, hiking, etc. Note that GPS does not work well under a roof. For best results, use outdoors. Displays: - Distance - Time elapsed - Speed (average or current) - Displacement (straight line distance from your starting point). This can be hidden. Distance units include: - Kilometers - Miles - Nautical miles - Meters - Feet Speed units include: - Kilometers per hour - Miles per hour - Nautical miles per hour - Meters per second - Feet per second Other features: - Home screen Widgets. - Large font adjustable display. - Accurate to within 1 percent when compared to most car odometers under normal driving conditions. - Approximates distance traveled in some GPS dead spots (such as driving through a tunnel) by adding the as-a-bird flies distance to your trip. Please also note: - GPS Odometer does run in the background if you leave it running. Be sure to pause the trip when you are finished or battery life will be negatively affected.
