GPS Speedometer
Real-time speed from your device's GPS — good for cycling, running, or as a rough riding companion.
How it works
This uses your browser's location API to watch your GPS position continuously. When your device reports speed directly, that value is used; otherwise speed is calculated from the distance and time between consecutive GPS fixes. Readings are smoothed slightly to reduce jitter, and max/average speed accumulate across your whole session until you reset.
Frequently asked questions
Is this accurate enough to rely on while driving?
No — GPS speed can lag or drift, especially at low speed or weak signal. Use your vehicle's speedometer for driving, and never look at a phone while operating a vehicle.
Why does the reading jump around at low speed?
GPS position accuracy is typically a few meters, a bigger relative error at low speed. Readings stabilize above roughly 5 mph / 8 km/h.
Does this work indoors?
No — GPS needs a clear view of the sky, so it won't get an accurate fix indoors or in dense urban canyons.
