Today’s free Android app of the Day – Speed

Speed, the simple yet elegant speedometer for Android from High Caffeine Content, uses the location data from your GPS to provide a near-accurate representation of how fast you’re actually traveling.

Featuring lush leather-like graphics and a clear, legible display, Speed is the perfect bicycle, boat, or train speedometer. Speed supports both kilometers and miles per hour as well as a landscape mode for wide-screen operation. Simply tap the dial to switch between miles, kilometers, and knots.

Please note that unless you have remarkably accurate GPS coverage, Speed requires a minimum pace of roughly 5 kilometers–or 3 miles–per hour to register your movement speed. This is not a pedometer, but the app works beautifully for biking, boating, driving, flying, and train travel.

The app works EXACTLY as described. No bells or whistles to be found here, there’s not even a menu. Tapping the screen switches between units of measure, and the accuracy will depend on the GPS of your device.
