GPS Speedometer: Speed Tracker

GPS Speedometer: Speed Tracker at a glance

GPS Speedometer: Speed Tracker is a Maps & Navigation app for measuring current travel speed with your phone’s GPS. It suits drivers, cyclists, boat users and anyone who wants a separate speed display or a backup to a vehicle’s built-in instruments. The app is published by COOL NIKS and has more than 5,000,000 installs.

Useful speed displays

The main screen focuses on live speed information and can show measurements in kilometres per hour, miles per hour, metres per second or knots. A digital odometer helps track distance during a journey, while compass and weather information provide additional context without requiring a separate utility for each detail.

HUD mode mirrors the display so it can be viewed as a reflection on a vehicle windscreen, which may be useful when a larger or more visible speed readout is needed. The floating window option places the speed display over another app, allowing navigation software to remain open while speed is monitored.

What to consider

The app uses GPS signals, so it can continue providing speed information in places where mobile data is limited, although accuracy depends on the phone’s location signal and surroundings. Continuous GPS use may also increase battery consumption during longer trips. It is best treated as an information and tracking tool rather than a replacement for a vehicle’s required instruments.

User response

GPS Speedometer: Speed Tracker holds a rating of 4.73 out of 5 from more than 58,000 reviews. That rating, together with its broad install base, suggests the straightforward speed-display approach works well for a wide range of everyday travel needs.
