In background it measures wrong distance. Make application to measure also correctly, when it works on background mode. In foreground it works ok.

Review summary
Most users praise GPS HUD Speedometer for accurate speed readings and a feature-rich experience, including track logging, history, and multiple screens with a clean UI. However, repeated complaints center on reliability and privacy: the app has background and stability problems (wrong background distance, not speaking in background, crashes on startup and freezing), and users dislike required permissions for storage and photos. Some report device/OS compatibility issues (Android 14) and landscape-mode limitations. Overall, it’s valued for speed measurement and features, but major issues in background operation and permissions limit its reliability.
Pros
- Accurate and reliable speed measurements across many devices and years.
- Feature-rich with track logging, history, maps, and multiple screens.
- Pleasant UI with a neat look and ease of use.
- Longstanding positive reputation and consistent user experience.
Cons
- Background mode inaccuracies and voice issues (distance wrong; no spoken updates in background).
- Stability issues: crashes on startup (Android 14) and intermittent freezes.
- Privacy and permission concerns (requires storage and photos/videos access; perceived data privacy risk).
- Landscape mode support limited or not working for some users.

Crashes on startup android 14, pointless
It requires access to photos and videos. Other similar applications do not require such permission. Also if it works on background, it becomes very inaccurate.
Good, but info disappeares when white is background colour (n s w e, ticks and ride time)
Does not speak updated values with screen off or with app in background. Does not speak the actual speed.
Best out there at any price in my book.been using for years with minimal issues across many devices.
I really like this app but currently absolutely refuses to work in landscape mode
distance (Km) isn't decimal(point 3 digit 00.000). example: distance 52.375Km. And It cannot used google Map offline.
Very good speed meter, I'm using last 10 years, not comparison other apps. Recommended 👍
good
