About this app

SpeedView is an advanced speedometer application that uses the phone's built-in GPS system to show your current, maximum and average speed, as well as the direction, total distance, and time traveled. Suitable for running, car driving, biking, or hiking.

• High accuracy
GPS-based speedometer that is more accurate than the one in your car.

• Linear compass
Shows your current direction of travel. A compass mode is also available.

• HUD mode
Mirrors the numbers so you can place your phone on your car's dashboard and see the speed reflected in the front glass. You can check out this video to see how it works: http://youtu.be/rzda7CQ-ZAU

• Speed graph
Displays a graph chart covering the last several minutes.

• Speed warning
You can set the speed limits for three different types of roads so that when you go too fast a visual alert or sound will notify you.

• Display units
Supports units such as miles, kilometers, and nautical miles.

• GPX track export
Enables you to save your current track to the SD card or email it to someone. The GPX format is supported by Google Earth and many other programs: http://www.topografix.com/gpx_resources.asp

• Background mode
You can minimize the program and keep it running in the background. It will work as usual and even notify you when you exceed the speed limit.

Please note that the accuracy of GPS measurements is affected by a number of factors including atmospheric conditions, obstructions and the visibility of satellites.

Ratings and reviews

Works well as a speedometer, and the heads-up mode is great. Unfortunately, a recent update causes it to launch itself in the background (unacceptable) and display un-clearable notifications (very unacceptable), and no response from emailing the developer. Uninstalled.

Used to love this app but since the latest update includes WIFI to allow the sending of all kinds of positional data to a third party company for among other things marketing purposes (read the app description for details) I will be forced to uninstall this app immediately. Also, none of the display formats work on my Xiaomi Mi A2 lite - the font size isn't correct and everything is clipped so can't be read.

graphics not working properly, the speedometer is not clearly visible, only 1st half is visible. even the speedo needle is off, its not at centre but lying below, I think some issue with the graphics renderig. also, the app shows a speed error of 10kmph which is weird as i measured with other apps and error was only 4kmph. I can't find the option to upload images, would have been easy .
