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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Speedometer ∞ GPS Speed at 4.4 against GPS Odometer's 3.3. Speedometer ∞ GPS Speed also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 135). GPS Odometer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
