How It Works

Speed Meter uses your phone's built-in GPS sensor to calculate your speed in real time. Simply open the app and start moving — your current speed, altitude, and distance are displayed instantly. Set a speed limit alert and the app will notify you when you exceed it. No configuration needed, no account required.

Why Choose Speed Meter Over Other Speedometer Apps?

No Ads, Ever

Most speedometer apps bombard you with full-screen ads while you're driving — a dangerous distraction. Speed Meter is completely ad-free so you can focus on the road.

No Location Tracking

Your GPS data is used only to display your speed. No routes are recorded, no locations are stored, and nothing is ever sent to any server.

Battery Optimized

Speed Meter uses intelligent GPS polling to give you accurate readings while consuming minimal battery. Use it on long drives without worrying about draining your phone.

Designed for Safety

The large, high-contrast speed display is easy to read at a glance. Speed alerts help you stay within limits without constantly checking the screen.

Use Cases

Driving

Use Speed Meter as a secondary speedometer in your car. Set speed alerts for school zones, highways, or city limits to avoid speeding tickets.

Cycling

Mount your phone on your handlebars and track your cycling speed, distance, and elevation in real time. Perfect for training rides and casual cycling.

Running & Jogging

Track your running pace and distance covered. The clean display makes it easy to check your speed without breaking stride.

Hiking & Outdoor Activities

Monitor your altitude and speed while hiking, skiing, or participating in outdoor sports. Works offline with GPS only.

Boating & Water Sports

Track your speed on the water. Speed Meter works anywhere your phone can receive a GPS signal — on lakes, rivers, or at sea.

Public Transport

Curious how fast your bus or train is going? Speed Meter lets you check in real time — just for fun or to log your commute.

Speed Units & Display Options

Speed Meter supports both metric (km/h) and imperial (mph) units. Switch between them with a single tap. The app features a large digital speedometer display that's easy to read in any lighting condition, whether you're driving at night or cycling in bright sunlight.

Privacy by Design

Your location data never leaves your device. Speed Meter uses GPS only to display your speed — no routes are stored, no data is sent to any server.

We understand that location data is deeply personal. That's why Speed Meter was designed with a strict zero-data-collection policy. The app doesn't require an internet connection to work, doesn't have any analytics SDKs, and never records your location history. When you close the app, all data is gone.

Speed Meter uses your phone's GPS sensor, which is generally accurate to within 1-3 km/h depending on GPS signal quality. For best accuracy, ensure your phone has a clear view of the sky.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Speed Meter relies only on GPS, which works without an internet connection. You can use it in areas with no cell service.

Will it drain my battery?

Speed Meter is optimized for low battery consumption. It uses efficient GPS polling intervals to minimize power usage while maintaining accurate speed readings.

Can I set speed limit alerts?

Yes. You can set a custom speed limit and the app will alert you with a visual and audio notification when you exceed it.

Does it record my routes?

No. Speed Meter does not record or store any location data. Your position is used only in real time to calculate speed and is never saved.
