rdarby Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Is there an app that will use the iphone GPS to give you your ground speed? I can't find one that actually works it out for you. Is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sseeker Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Any GPS app that will display speed will give you ground speed. I use two apps on my Android phone called MyTracks and OruxMaps that will give ground speed. On the iPhone I believe an app called Map My Tracks will also display your speed (ground speed), it also logs your flight using the GPS. -Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Koreelah Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I have made extensive use of my iPhone aloft and recommend GPS ($1.19) for its very easy to read display, which includes ground speed. I also use InstaMapper GPS tracker to lay a trail of breadcrumbs. My wife can follow my flight in real time, and after I get home I use it for analysing my trip. Each breadcrumb show altitude, ground speed, heading lat/long and time. Unfortunately it only transmits while in the foreground, and its display is only just readable in flight, but I can easily switch between it and another app such as GPS.
