GPS apps that could tell me my speed?

prebetsabu · Thread Author #1 02-26-2011, 04:04 AM

Guys, do u know where I can find such apps that uses gps to track my speed n say it out loud to me using speakerphone/earphone probably in an interval of 5-10secs?

I need this as I'm seriously doubting my speedometer both in my cars and my bike.. At least gps speed is much accurate.

Current gps navigations software do display the speed, but its much more convinience if we could hear it speak the speed to us.

I'm tired of speeding tickets ehhehehe

GPS Tool from the Crackberry store is free, it doesn't say it out loud to you. But you can always use it to train your speed guessing so you know what your traveling at without the speedometer.

I'd like to see Quickfind implement a heads up display feature so that I can leave it on my dashboard and see the speed I'm doing.

Nogago had an HUD app that I tried on my Torch and it worked great, but they don't seem to support it anymore.

This is just me being geeky. I don't actually need it, but I'd love to have it added. It would make Quickfind that much better for me.

Reversed so that it will reflect off of the windshield.

Basically, a black background with just the speed, reversed, across the screen so that it can "overlay" what's viewed through the windshield. It's a feature that some cars have stock.

Bonus would be if it gave direction arrows for navigation.

hmm... that sounds pretty cool.
i took a look at the nogago app. the screen was white and it wasnt reversed either. did you use this for a hud?
so a black background with green or red letters while reflect off the windshield?

CheetahAce · #12 03-02-2011, 07:12 PM

ok. did some research.
pretty cool. i'm going to add this.
thanks

Ehemmm.. Is this thread still focusing on the speed notification by voice issue ?

I've installed wave n using it for checking d traffic conditions, but I doubt it can speak the speed, just display it.
