If you have a smart phone there are plenty of free apps that will give you the info you need. GPS essentials is the one i use.

I don't believe an old style mechanical speedometer will work on a golf cart because they were engineered to accurately measure the speed of a bicycle equipped with 26" or 27" tires. As far as I know there's no way to re-calibrate them to work on vehicles with smaller tires.

The digital units work very well on Golf carts and can be calibrated for any tire size.

And for a lot less than $300. Quite a bit more functionality.
