About

Speedometer is a GPS-based speedometer designed for mobile Linux devices. It displays your current speed on an analogue dial with a colour-coded arc, a large digital readout, altitude and also coordinates - all sourced from the XDG Location Portal. The GPS accuracy indicator shows whether the location fix is good enough to determine speed, making it clear when only a network-based position is available (yellow dot). Disclaimer: For informational purposes only. Speed readings are GPS-based and approximate - not legally certified for any purpose. Do not use while driving.
