Online Speedometer What It Is & How It Works:
This speedometer web app is designed to provide real-time speed statistics using the built-in GPS that most devices have. It displays your speed, distance traveled, and more on your smartphone, tablet, or PC with GPS enabled.
- KM/H and Miles/Hour: Speed units. Switch between them based on your preference.
- Max Speed: The highest speed reached during your ride.
- Ø Avg Speed: Overall average speed, calculated from total distance divided by total travel time.
- Altitude: Your elevation above sea level.
- Accuracy: Reflects the GPS data precision. Lower numbers mean more accuracy.
- Avg Wait: Average time spent stationary, like at traffic stops.
- Start Time: When you started your journey.
- Trip Duration: Total duration of your current trip, excluding wait time.
- Wait Time: Total duration of all pauses or slow movements.
How GPS Works:
The GPS in your device connects with satellites to pinpoint your exact location, speed, and direction, thus providing precise tracking for your movement statistics.
How To Use Online Speedometer:
- Ensure your device is GPS-capable.
- Press 'Grant Location Access' for location services.
- 'Try to keep screen on' prevents the screen from going dark.
- Use 'Start' to begin tracking and 'Stop' to end. 'Reset Data' clears current data without stopping the tracking.
Troubleshooting & Tips:
If the GPS isn’t functioning correctly, ensure your device isn’t covered or obstructed. Open areas generally provide better GPS connectivity. If facing issues, confirm your device is in GPS mode and location permissions are granted to both the browser and the webpage. Trying a different browser might also help.
Make sure you've enabled necessary permissions in your device settings for GPS access. Remember that GPS tracking can be battery-intensive, so it's advisable to start with a full charge or carry a power bank for longer rides.
