iOS speedometer app

Post by Eck »

I'm looking for advice on what app to use to be able to track MPH via GPS. Also, any other features that people find useful inside the app (gas mileage, etc.). I think it'd be nice to have an accurate altitude meter too.

I have an iPhone so it would need to be available for iOS.

Thanks!

I use an app appropriately named "Speedometer" on my iPhone 6. Nothing fancy but it works.

I use speed box. Has different settings for dial and digital speed read outs. Also has altitude and some other stuff. Been happy with it and it's simple enough. Use it all the time in the 69

I use GPS HD by MotionX. Does a lot more than displaying speed.

Has built in NAV, altitude, and you can save trails you've done.

I think you can send / share routes you have done.

For fuel mileage and maintenance tracking I use Roadtrip HD.

I wish the two were combined.

Not an app, but useful, I use my old Garmin hiking GPS. It has road nav, speed, trip and very useful off road with the topo map, imagery and bread crumb trail.

I love this app for my Android. But I couldn't confirm it's available for iOS:

It has an overlay for google maps!

here's a site that could help:
