There is currently a free Android app available in the Google Play Store that turns your smartphone into a digital speedometer. This allows you to display the actual speed driven and you always know how fast you are traveling on your bicycle, e-bike, motorbike or car.

Free Android app: “Speedometer GPS Pro” for free instead of 89 cents

A GPS chip is installed in almost every Android smartphone, which locates the device and thus determines its position. The Android app “Speedometer GPS Pro” can increase the functionality of the cell phone and turn it into a digital speedometer. For this purpose, the GPS signal is evaluated and converted into the driven speed. This can be very useful if you want to find out how fast you really drive your car or bike. The display of the speedometer in the car always deviates somewhat from the speed actually driven. The Android app has even more functions:

• Itinerary can be recorded and saved via GPS. So you can see afterwards which route you drove.
• Android app can be used for both car and bike. You just have to choose the right mode.
• Speed ​​can be represented in kilometers or miles per hour. Handy if you’re traveling in England, for example, where miles per hour apply.
• Saved routes could be exported as a GPX file.

If you are looking for exactly such an Android app, you can now strike for free. The promotion runs until January 30, 2022.

Notice: Anyone who downloads the “Speedometer GPS Pro” Android app currently links it to their Google account and can download it again later for free at any time.

Speedometer GPS Pro: What good is the Android app?

The app has been downloaded over 500,000 times from the Google Play Store and has so far achieved 3.3 out of 5 stars from over 3,500 reviews. Overall, “Speedometer GPS Pro” seems to work well and provide accurate data. If you’ve always wanted to know how fast your car or e-bike is really going compared to the speedometer, you’ve come to the right place.

I tried the app on different phones. Depending on how good the GPS chip in the device is, the data will be precise. In some cases, I covered distances and meters of altitude at home without moving. The measurement with the app should therefore only be carried out outdoors. All in all, a very practical app, but it sometimes puts a heavy strain on the battery.
