Description:
Being aware of your own speed can always come in handy, whether you want to avoid breaking limits, to verify your vehicle's performance, your own, or just out of plain curiosity. So here comes SpeedoPhone.
If you have a WM device with GPS and you want to keep your speed under control, SpeedoPhone is what you need. You can use it when you're on foot, in your car, on a train, on a plane, on boat or wherever you like.
The app has a Windows Phone 7 look, nice, user friendly and pleasing to the eye; as for the possibilities and information it has to offer, here's what we've got.
The first steps are the same as always: download the cab from the link at the bottom of the page, install it on your device, open it and you'll get to the home page.
It's simple and intuitive. The app will automatically get the GPS running upon loading, but it's possible to switch it on and off manually with the GPS button. Once the phone has found and fixed enough satellites to work with, the START button will be enabled. Click on it to start your record.
The first data available on the screen is the instantaneous speed, with Km/h as default measure unit. You can change it to miles per hour (Mph) or knots (Kn) by tapping on it.
The app will also give you information on the distance you've covered, the average speed you've kept, the highest speed you've reached and - if you select the cost-per-kilometer option - how much it is so far.
