Free Online GPS Speedometer
Check how fast you are moving with Xpeedometer, a free online speedometer that uses your device's GPS to estimate speed in real time. It works in a web browser, so there is no app to install. Enable location access, start the meter, and choose km/h, mph, or m/s.
GPS readings depend on your device, signal, and surroundings. Use this tool as a general reference, not as a replacement for a vehicle's certified speedometer or for safety-critical decisions.
How to use the online speedometer
Follow these steps to view your current GPS-based speed:
- Allow location access in your browser and make sure device location services are enabled.
- Press Start on the speedometer above.
- Choose a unit: kilometres per hour (km/h), miles per hour (mph), or metres per second (m/s).
- Move with your device and read the displayed GPS speed. A clear view of the sky can help improve the signal.
If no reading appears, check the browser's location permission, confirm location services are on, and reload the page.

How does a GPS speedometer estimate speed?
Xpeedometer uses the location information made available by your device and browser to estimate movement speed. The update rate and reading quality depend on your device and GPS reception. Tunnels, buildings, and poor signal can make the reading fluctuate or prevent a result.
This is an estimate for general awareness, not a certified measuring instrument or official vehicle, railway, or timetable data. For vehicle speed, follow the vehicle's own speedometer and local safety rules.
Which speed units can I choose?
- Kilometres per hour (km/h) for metric speed readings.
- Miles per hour (mph) for imperial speed readings.
- Metres per second (m/s) for SI speed readings.
Select a unit using the controls beside the speedometer. Changing units changes the displayed value, not the GPS measurement.
Use GPS speed readings responsibly
Use the tool while walking, cycling, or travelling as a passenger. Drivers and riders should not handle or look at a phone while moving; check the screen only when it is safe and legal to do so. GPS readings can lag or vary, so never rely on this page for navigation, braking, or other safety-critical decisions.
