DigiHUD Speedometer & GPS Tracker is a free and easy-to-use head-up display (HUD) app for your car, bike, or any other mobile device. It displays speed and distance information in the form of numbers, arrows, and text on the screen, making it easy to read even in the most stressful situations. It is a GPS-based app that uses the GPS sensor in your device to calculate the speed and distance of your journey. It can be used as a standalone speedometer or as a speed and distance tracker that uses your device's built-in GPS sensor.
If your business contains any transportation element, whether it is a courier or delivery service or a company car that is loaned out for business travel, you might want to invest in technology that tracks speed and distance. This type of speedometer-style information can be useful, whether you or your employees are on foot, biking or driving.
Android smartphones come with built-in GPS technology and can determine where you are, what your current elevation is and how fast you are moving. With the right Android speedometer app, you can use these resources to estimate travel speeds. Surprisingly, there are dozens of speedometer-style apps on the market. Here are a handful of the top speedometer apps available in the Google Play store.
One of the highest-rated speedometers in the Google Play store, the Ulysse Speedometer app is packed with features. You can measure acceleration times with a racing meter, receive warnings of speed limit changes and even control music on your Android phone through the app. The free version of the app includes ads, while a paid version is available. It is not the simplest speedometer out there, but what it lacks in simplicity, it makes up for in functionality.
The GPS-based digital heads-up display in DigiHUD Speedometer can track speed and distance and is a reliable replacement if your vehicle's speedometer has died. According to the creators, the HUD mode is made to be viewed at night through a reflection in a vehicle windshield so that it emulates the look of a traditional odometer readout. It can also be opened up as a floating window on top of other apps or your Android home screen. The DigiHUD Speedometer offers a free version as well as a paid version with more features.
With a paid version and a free, ad-supported version, the SpeedView speedometer has almost as many positive ratings as the most-reviewed GPS Speedometer and Odometer app. SpeedView includes features such as a speed graph that charts distance over time and a linear compass to show the current direction of travel. The key feature for this one is the GPX track export, which allows you to save all the tracking information for sharing later. If you want to keep your data completely secure, however, you may want to avoid SpeedView, as it shares data with third-party Sense360, which creates marketing reports on how users are using the app.
If you want more functionality and customizable statistics, then you may prefer to go with the Ulysse Speedometer. Ulysse offers the user of the speedometer a lot of versatility and functionality, so it might be better for employees who are on the road all day doing deliveries because they can control their music from the app as well.
I'm probably in the wrong plave, but I gotta start somewhere. What is the best GPS speedometer app? I don't need it to do anything except tell me my speed, and preferably not interfere with Google Play Music. A bonus would be if it had a easily visible(large numbers), low power usage, and landscape screen support.
Update: DigiHUD, recommend by u/woried below, is what I settled on as it was the least "dressed up" and simplicity was the only must have. It worked WONDERFULLY on my way to work this morning, and I found out that my internal speedometer is actually pretty accurate (at least on a route that I have driven 4 days a week for 2 years.)
