To get correct distance and average speed
- Turn the app to foreground (active) while moving.
- or -
- Enable (Keep GPS on for multitasking-, lock-, sleep-mode) in the Speedometer settings tab.
Please keep in mind:
Distance or average speed is only tracing while GPS has a well satellite connection.
If there is no GPS update, not the full trip is traced.
This is possible in:
- tunnels,
- around tale buildings,
- in high speed trains,
- ...
Note:
If the app is closed:- All values are saved.
- No values are updated.
- Next launch, Speedometer Pro goes on from the last state

The Speedometer needs a well GPS connection.
If you have a full GPS signal
- the speedometer works correct.
If you have not a full GPS signal
- The Speedometer works sometime.
- It is possible, that it shows the last speed detected,
what is not your correct speed. - After some time of no detection the speedometer shows 0.
- It works best with clear sky, and open space.
- It may not work in towns with tale buildings
or other surroundings in front of the sky. - The GPS receiver also needs some time to connect.
The longer you run Speedometer, then better is the connection. - If you are in a train, bus, boat or car, it works best on the window.
Most new trains or high speed trains are highly isolated. (less or no GPS signal).
