thinking of replacing my inaccurate speedometer with a GPS speedometer

[GypsyCliff]

I'm thinking about replacing my inaccurate speedometer with a GPS speedometer. It has many additional features that would be nice-compass, GPS coordinates, temperature, altitude, 0-60 etc. Just wondering if anyone is using one and how often you loose the signal like when in a forest or in the mountains?

Cliff, if you have a smart phone you can get all that and more with a free app. I just checked on androids, and Android-Speedometer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.meditgbr.android.tacho&hl=en) includes elevation and speed cameras too.

Jon, that's a sick app! A lot of this technology is really cool, but at the same time some of it is scary. It is a trip to see that the heads up is as clear as it is. Maybe I should add the video.

I check the speedometer on everything I drive now with my smart phone. The only vehicle that I own that has a really accurate speedometer is the Newell. Everything else is 1 to 2 mph off one way or the other.

I had a 98 Pontiac that had a HUD. I'm a black & white, meat & potatoes kind of guy & I thought that it was an annoyance at first. After time I found that I knew my speed without looking at a gauge; kind of like a subliminal suggestion?
