Speed Overlay - Real-Time Speed Display App

"Speed Overlay" is an Android app that overlays your current speed on top of other applications. It provides a customizable speed display for navigation apps lacking this feature. With options for size, transparency, and units (m/s, km/h, mph, knots), users can easily track their speed. The app includes GPS accuracy, height, coordinates display, and works seamlessly with automation tools like Tasker. Enjoy a fully free experience with no ads or limitations.

Does not work with Samsung Dex. The overlay only shows on the main phone screen, not the Dex screen.

Hi, I'm looking for any app to show GPS elevation on status bar or as a widget for months. THANK YOU! Works great so far!

A really great app that actually does what it says it will do with no annoying ads or ridiculous subscriptions. I would actually like to donate to them, they need to add a donate button.
