Kwasaki Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 As known many speedo readings are inaccurate and can be at a slightly lower speed than read. On motorcycles forum someone said I could do a GPS with my phone if so can one of you tech gurus here tell me how to do it in easy non-technical language. Thanks.

KhunBENQ Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Not sure whether I got it right: you want to use GPS to measure actual speed? Not so much interested in route planning/map? There is a multitude of apps for reading GPS data which incl. location, time, speed, direction. On my Android phone I use "GPS Test" from "Chartross Limited". As my chair stands still, not much to see right now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Up here there are still roads so quiet you can drive from milestone to milestone (1 km actually) and (stop)watch the time. Drive 80 km/h shown by speedo, drive 1 km, 45s would be exactly 80 km/h. (1 min = 60 km/h) After having changed tire size on my car it is quite accurate and not "allowed/desired": showing higher than actual speed is the rule/law in Germany and maybe other countries (like 7%). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again I guess that is something I can do if I got someone good with a stopwatch. The problem as I see it is pressing a phone screen to get readings I don't see how they do it on there own.
