Overall Impression

SpeedGauge hasn't inverse much since its Windows Mobile days. The awarding ran smoothly with no bugs, glitches or crashes experienced.

Graphics have been minimized with simply a digital brandish option available. It would accept been nice if the analog display could have made the transition and mayhap future updates volition include an old school speedometer.

As far as accuracy goes, SpeedGauge was inside 3 miles per hr of my car's speedometer. Granted, my car'southward speedometer could be off just the difference wasn't enough to worry near. Every now and and so, information technology would loose the GPS signal only the application regained positioning quickly to avoid problems.

There isn't a trial version bachelor and the full version is running $.99. You can find your re-create of SpeedGauge here (opens your Zune desktop) at the Marketplace.
