Easy GPS speedo

Blue370tt · 01-11-2011, 12:17 PM

For those of you that have Android phones, there are GPS based speedometer programs (some free and some paid) in the market. I use them with a windshield holder and can see my accurate speed without having to look down at my dash speedo.

Iphone may have the same programs but I dont know as I am not an Iphone owner.

In a perfect world I would rather see my speed on my NAV unit instead but thats up to Nissan (and a software upgrade).

^Haha, I used my GPS speedo to figure out how accurate my speedometer is and they are both spot on so I never bother with the app anymore unless I am doing 0-60 or 1/4 mile runs.

I did the same and it turns out that my speedometer is 2 mph fast

I just find a work zone and use the radar sign to check my speed. But once you hit 100 it just flashes ?? LOL

That's awesome. I don't know that I would have the balls to try this. Most of ours are setup on 45 mph streets.
