Default How can I tell how many mph I'm going?

My golf cart is soooo slow and I would like to get it fixed so that it at least can go the maximum that the rules allow. Does anyone know if smart phones can determine the mph?? Or even the GPS that I have in my car (which needs to be "plugged in.") Thanks.

GPS Essentials is a great APP for smart phones. It will definitely give you your MPH.

I use my GPS from my car. It will run about an hour not plugged in. It will give you your maximum speed.

Be sure you have it checked by comparing to a known speed. If you're comfortable that your car is accurate set cruse control and compare to your app.

I don't have speed control in my car down here. When I did have one I would set it and never worry about speeding. I want an Android app, that someone is happily using now, that beeps when you exceed the speed limit.

If they even make one.

thank-you

Any smart phone can download a Speedometer App. They are very accurate. I use it on my boat because boat speedometer's are worthless.
