DigiHUD Speedometer

About this app

100% ad-free, doesn't require data/cell connection to work.

DigiHUD Speedometer is a free GPS based digital head up display (HUD) that shows useful speed and distance information for your journey. Ideal if your vehicle speedo has died, you want to verify your vehicle speed or you just want to know your speed when cycling, running, flying, sailing etc.!
The display can be switched between normal viewing and HUD mode, which mirrors the display for viewing as a reflection in a vehicle windscreen (most useful at night, depending on the device's brightness).
DigiHUD can open as a floating window on top of other apps or your homescreens.
Works with external GPS receivers (tested at 10Hz).

Although we strive to make all readings as accurate as possible they are only as accurate as your device's GPS sensor and should only be regarded as approximations.

For more than a dozen extra features, with many more planned, try DigiHUD Pro (link at the bottom of this description).

Ratings and reviews

Been using using since 2014 off and on to check accurately of speedos in jeeps and trucks with bigger tires. Or with cars that havnt had the speedo working at all. It's been great. But ever since the newest update the trip meter went missing on the display. I can find it in the menu under statistics but I would like to see it all the time would be nice. Thank you for the amazing product thru the years. 9-21-2024

Realy works great , easy to see aspecailly at night fantastic app,, I'm updating my review because the little window quit working. I used the Waze navigation with the digi hud small window, from what I've been reading must have been a new update and it messed up the small window and now I cannot get to it and not on my phone. This digi head is totally useless if I don't have that little window

Love the big digits for the HUD. This app is so easy to use. Just turn on location in phone, open app, verify that it is set to HUD (just the MPH, mirror image & upside down), place phone near the front of the dash (nice flat spot with s grippy pad) and drive. When I am driving my current speed is displayed just to the left of the rearview mirror, and as easy to see as looking through the windshield. No other app works as simple and easy. Thank you very much!
