Contact Speed Tracker Support

Got an old Dakota I’m fixing up, decided to see how off the speedometer was, so I downloaded this. When I downloaded it, inside, standing still, I was going 3.6 MPH.

Decided to let it calibrate a bit, let it run for about 5 minutes. Started reading accurately. Set it up on my dash so I could do a side by side comparison. I take off from a parking lot. My truck reading 7 MPH, this app 15. I turn onto the road with a 25 MPH speed limit. I match it with my truck, this app? 40 MPH. I took a detour for one stop sign, and it seemed to adjust to normal when I started slowing down. Instead I took off at about 2K rpm, enough to make it move with a jolt. Same 25 speed limit, but this time when I took off hard, this app said 60. And continued to read that.

Turning onto a 55 Highway, I slowed down to about 30 turning onto it. I get up to 55, like a normal driver. Take a guess what this app said? 90.

Last thing is I go up a steep hill, push 4K, going 60 on my tach.
This app reads 105.
Do not download. Needs serious calibration

How come this does not do track up, where the map orients in the direction you are going. It looks stupid North up all the time, and no way of having it go the direction you are going. I would have been happy to have done a full purchase, but not now….

update. they just made an update saying this new version it is suppose to work…. it doesn’t. maybe they should test their app before releasing it..

I’m on a high speed train and I thought it would be neat to see the speed. My location accuracy wasn’t great but was wildly small compared to the pile of data and distance I travelled across 15 minutes. It would have been more than needed to create an estimate of speed.

Beyond oddball use case, I have no idea how the app might perform, because I’ll never download it again and I’ve only been going >200kph during the time I had it installed.
