Default Speedometer/odometer for golf cart

We need a new speedometer/odometer for our electric golf cart. Does anyone have a suggestion of who to call?

A cell phone with a GPS function is a great speedometer

There's a guy that advertises in the newspaper every Monday. He charges something like $84 and comes to your house for the installation. I had him do mine and have never regretted it. What he mounts is basically a bicycle speedometer/odometer, calibrated for your tire size. According to my phone GPS, it's pretty accurate. The odometer does roll over at 1,000 miles, which I don't find to be an issue.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I want one mounted and do not want to use my cellphone.

Thank you Ohio BestUs. We lived in Upper Arlington after college until we moved down here.

We (I) moved out of Columbus and Gahanna area in 1979 to a small private resort area between Lancaster and Logan Ohio called Hideaway Hills. We eventually moved down here only about 2 months ago. Nice to chat with you. I actually created my user name after the Bucks won the national championship game against Miami in 2014. Hence the name Ohio is best in the U.S. (Ohiosbestus).

If you don't mind wearing your battery down. I downloaded The Villages GPS, and a speedometer app. They're great except that they drain my battery pretty quickly.
