Anyone use a gps speed app on their smartphone to monitor track speed when there is no reader board? If so, what app do you use? Does it display mph to the tenths? Thanks! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/22/2023 12:24PM by Stretch. |

If no one is using an app, what are you using? |

You may have to download a few and try them each out and see how well they work, There are a dozen Android apps that are highly rated and free to download. The greatest issues are the latency of the gps signa, the accuracy of the sled's monitor and the accuracy of the app itself - all the more reason to try out multiple apps. Bryan Lively - |

Those are all issues that I have concerns with. I know the app is not going to be perfect but didn’t know if anyone had experience with one that worked better than another. I figured if I could come up with a free app that worked well enough then it would be better than spending big money on a fancy setup. I have seen some posts about boat GPS units from Australia but the posts are 5+ years old and didn’t know if there was a better bang for my buck now. |

I've seen these …. [sensor-1.com] and I personally have one from this company [hmbe.com.au]
one thing to remember, these WILL not coincide with the sleds gps…..its a close guideline to about how fast your going. It would be nice to have a board system so everyone can see speed and distance, then everyone will be on a level playing field. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/23/2023 09:31AM by IHFarmer07. |

Thanks for the response and information. Are you happy with yours? I understand it will not be exact to the sled but I’m just looking for something to get me close. Some places I go have a board, unfortunately some places do not. |

Yes sir I am, the screen is not too big and not too small……I’ve had it for several years, wanting to say since 2015-2016. |

I run a sensor one setup. It is going to be way more precise than any phone app , but they are a little spendy. |

I have used both of these apps. The top one messures to the 100th. The bottom one messures to the 10th. Both are pretty accurate and have a quick refresh speed. The down side is they are only available for android phones. |

I have an app called Speedometer-2 which is just the newer version of Speedometer. I used it to calibate my sprayer and worked good enough for that. I know it'll go down to tenths, perhaps hundredths. |
