What is Speedometer and GPS Speedometer

Speedometer

Speedometer is a medium or gauge in a vehicle that measures and show how fast the car is being driven. Speedometer is not usually 100% perfect as far as Speed Measurement is concerned. The error in Speed measurement could be because of Tire Variation, like Pressure, Load, Size, Pressure, Temperature etc.. Speedometer is known as different names depending on vehicle type, e.g. it is known as Airspeed Indicator in Aircraft, and Pit Log in Boat.

GPS Speedometer

GPS Speedometer is found in GPS devices, including Smartwatches, SmartBands and Smartphones. Some devices (e.g. SmartBands) don’t come with a display to show speedometer, but they work with Smartphones to display speed or traveled distance. GPS Speedometer doesn’t really know how fast you are driving, running or walking, it actually identifies your current location, and the location you have travelled, and then it calculates the speed. For example, If the distance between my current place to destination place is 10 kilometer, and I reach there in 10 minutes, then GPS Speedometer will show the speed as 60 km/h. Some GPS speedometers are wise enough to avoid calculating those time when you are stuck at traffic or not moving, but some of them keep calculating whether you are moving or not. GPS Speedometer may also make error depending on connectivity or satellite signal.
