Utilities
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Real Satellite Speed uses your iPhone's GPS to show your true speed in real time - measured directly from satellite data, not estimated by the accelerometer.
Whether you're driving, cycling, running, or flying, get the most accurate speed reading possible right from your pocket.
SPEED SCREEN
- Large, easy-to-read speed display in km/h, mph or m/s
- Current altitude
- Session maximum speed - see how fast you've gone
- Clean dark interface designed for glanceability
SPEED ALARM
- Set a speed limit threshold
- The app plays an alert sound the moment you exceed it
- Easily adjust the target speed with + / - buttons or type it directly
DESIGNED FOR REAL USE
- Works on iPhone and iPad
- Portrait mode optimised
- Lightweight and battery-friendly
- No account required - open and go
Real Satellite Speed is perfect for drivers who want to double-check their speedometer, cyclists tracking their rides, pilots monitoring ground speed, or anyone curious about how fast they're really moving.
Warning: "Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life."
