Speedometer: GPS Speedometer

GPS speed readings for everyday travel

Speedometer: GPS Speedometer is a Maps & Navigation utility from Simple Design Ltd. It uses your phone’s GPS to show current speed and can also track distance and movement over a journey. It suits drivers who want a separate speed display, as well as cyclists, walkers and other travelers who need a quick reading without relying on a vehicle’s built-in instrument.

Useful modes for driving and cycling

The app supports common speed units such as kilometres per hour, miles per hour and knots. A large digital display is built for quick glances, while an analog-style view offers a more familiar gauge. Landscape and portrait layouts make it easier to use with different phone mounts.

• HUD mode: reflects the speed display so it can be viewed on a vehicle windscreen.
• Speed alerts: lets you set a threshold and receive a warning when your speed passes it.
• Route records: keeps trip information such as distance and the path travelled for later reference.
• Floating display: can place the speed reading over another navigation app when supported by the phone.

What the listing tells you

With a 4.50 rating from 149,729 reviews and 10,000,000+ installs, this is an established speedometer app rather than a niche utility with little usage history. Its purpose is narrow and clear: provide GPS speed information, optional trip tracking and configurable alerts in a dedicated interface.

Who it is for

Choose it if you want a straightforward speed display for a car, bicycle or walking trip, especially when you need different units, a windscreen-style view or a record of your route. It is less suited to anyone looking for full turn-by-turn navigation, since its main job is monitoring speed and travel data rather than replacing a complete maps service.
