Frequently Asked Questions

A zero reading alone does not show whether the device has a usable location fix. Check location permission and signal conditions before relying on the reading. Allow time for a usable location reading and keep a clear view of the sky. Acquisition time varies with the device and surroundings; there is no fixed waiting time.

Check that Location Services and location access for the app are enabled, including Precise Location where available. Keep the device date, time and time zone correct, preferably automatic. Move to a place with a clear view of the sky and allow time for a usable reading. If the problem continues, restart the app or device and compare another location app. Do not routinely disable Wi-Fi or time-zone services or reset network settings.

Speed limit data and GPS signals can vary in accuracy due to your location and map data limitations. We work to keep information as up-to-date as possible, but occasional discrepancies may happen. Speed limit information may sometimes be missing, incomplete, or outdated, particularly in some regions where data is scarce or unavailable. Always rely on posted road signs and adhere to traffic laws while driving. Curious about the technology? Read our guide on how GPS speedometers work.

GPS can continue in the background while recording a trip or using Picture-in-Picture. Picture-in-Picture requires PRO.

Music playback controls require PRO, media-library permission and compatible content in the system Music player.

Our app does not currently provide a native CarPlay interface. You can use it on your iPhone while the phone is connected to CarPlay. Apple supports eligible CarPlay app categories and system features such as Live Activities, but we have not verified a CarPlay display experience for this app. We will document compatibility after it has been tested and released.

Free to download, with no ads. PRO is available through a subscription or a one-time purchase; both unlock the same PRO features. The price depends on your region and current offer; check Apple’s purchase screen. Recording, saving and basic viewing of trips are free. Detailed route playback and analysis require PRO. PRO unlocks route playback, speed and altitude charts, and detailed trip analysis. Trips saved while PRO stay unlocked if PRO later expires.

All subscriptions and payments are managed securely through Apple's App Store using your existing Apple ID payment method. You will always see clear pricing and confirmation prompts before any purchase. All transactions are processed by Apple, not by us. Your payment information remains secure with Apple. If you need a refund or have billing questions, you can request assistance directly through Apple's official support channels.

You can cancel your subscription anytime through your Apple ID account settings. Cancellations must be done before your current billing period ends to avoid the next charge. After canceling, you'll continue to have access to PRO features until your current subscription period expires. For help with canceling, see Apple’s billing support page.

GPS Speedometer is an iOS app, available exclusively on the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad — there is no APK file to download. APK files are Android installation packages and don't work on iPhone. If you found a site offering a "speedometer APK" for iPhone, avoid it — apps for iPhone can only be safely installed through the App Store. Download the app free from the App Store using the button on this page.

Core GPS speed tracking and trip recording work without internet, with location permission and a usable GPS signal. Automatic road-speed-limit data and weather need internet. Maps and other connected features may be unavailable offline.

How fast am I going? Tap Start and allow location to see an estimate of your speed over ground in mph, km/h or knots. A usable location reading is needed before a number appears. No app download or account is required. The browser tool and GPS Speedometer for iPhone are separate products. The native app adds saved trips, basic HUD and optional PRO features such as Picture in Picture.
