I would love to get it working for you but I suspect it is a carrier issue.
What carrier are you on?

Also, can you try opening google maps and allowing it to get a fix before starting SpeedTrack?

Thanks,

It's a great app and now I have a testimonial. I used SpeedTrack on a friends boat with a bad speedometer. He was very impressed and now wants the app. Problem for him is that he gave up his Pre for a HTC Hero. He likes the speed of mine now with Govnah but he is stuck with an android phone. Any suggestions for him?

Thanks,
Greg

That is a great story! I am glad SpeedTrack worked well for you. Thanks for posting.

I do no have any knowledge of the android market so I cant help there but maybe your friend can wait till the next webOS phone.

Hey just wondering if it would be possible to add a High Speed Recall option?

I had this feature on my Garmin GPS that I recently sold and now I miss it.

Kinda neat to be able to take off on my motorcycle and see how fast I was going for the day!

Great app!
Thanks!

That is an interesting idea. I may include a stats screen to show some of the basics like max speed as well.

I am also interested by a high speed enhancement. After a check of the odometer precision, I have checked the ability of your application to measure high speed in train. Last monday, I have recorded multiple speeds higher than your application is able to display. In fact, it was in the French TGV at 264 km/hour (More than 160 mph). The data were unstable but maybe a little smooth in the computation could be enough to obtain a stable measurment.

Great work,

I still have a Palm Pixi Plus, and would like to see the top speed obtained as well. Would be a great feature!
