First launch checklist
- Allow location access, ideally precise location, when asked. Without it the app cannot calculate speed.

- Step outside or near a window and wait a few seconds for a fix; see improve GPS signal if it takes long.
- Pick an analog or digital meter and a theme.
- Mount the phone securely before driving; see phone mount placement.
Download speedometer app permissions explained
Location is the only permission the core feature needs. On iPhone, Apple explains how Location Services and precise location work in its support pages. On Android, recent versions let you choose precise or approximate; approximate location is too coarse for speed. More detail is in location permissions for speed apps.
After installing
Open the app outdoors, allow precise location while using the app, and wait a few seconds for the first fix. Choose MPH or KM/H and your meter style, then mount the phone before you move.
Troubleshooting install
If the store says the app is incompatible, check your OS version. If it won't download, check storage and connection, then restart the phone.
Before your first drive
Test the app as a passenger first, or on a walk, so you know what the screen looks like and where the buttons are. Compare it against your dashboard on a straight road; small differences are normal and explained in GPS vs car speedometer. Then read our safety page.
