Speedometer+ 1.1.0.0
Windows Phone users can have a go at this with a neat tool called Speedometer+ that can be used even when walking, as long as there is a patch of clear sky above to keep the GPS connection alive.
Simple design for optimal visibility of the measurements
This application comes with a friendly appearance that consists of a neatly designed speedometer gauge, with some colorful markings set against a nice background.
The values presented inside the main screen are very easy to read thanks to the clear and large digits shown in the upper part of the display.
There is also the analogue view, with a responsive indicator that points immediately at the correct value of the velocity on the big, round dial.
Instant speed readings and altitude measurement at a glance
Speedometer+ has a switch that you can use to turn the main functionality on or off and this can be quite useful for when you want to save some battery power by disconnecting the GPS component. The measurements take place in real-time and are shown equally fast in the reference system you choose.
With this application you can have the speed data shown in kilometers per hour or miles per hour and switching between these two takes a single tap on the dedicated button docked in the menu at the bottom of the screen. You have the possibility to view, inside the same dial, the value of the current altitude, as this app is able to make this measurement automatically as well.
Should you find any differences between the values provided by this app and those from other devices, you should note that the accuracy is limited by the capabilities of the phone's built-in GPS receiver.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
The nicely designed interface, with its cool graphics and responsive indicators is enough to earn this app a lot of points from the visual perspective. |
Function8
Suitable for measuring the velocity in any conditions and also able to provide altitude values o the spot, Speedometer+ needs some history or log section where user can store the top and average values, as well as a way of viewing the distance traveled. |
Security10
The app poses no threats or risks, so it can be safely used as it will only require access to the location services for calculating the speed and altitude. |
Battery5
The utility is quite greedy when it comes to system resources as it uses a lot of power and the battery usage peaks at very high levels. |
Price9
A very good package overall, Speedometer+ can be a reliable tool for anyone who wants a simple means of measuring their speed. |
Compatibility10
All Windows Phone users can enjoy this app onto their handsets as it runs under version 7 and above of the operating system. |
