OK what im looking for is a gps software that can show my speed and my higest speed i had. Sounds dump but instead of buying a hand held gps i rather this. We want to see how fast some of our R/C cars and boats travel. ( place phone on R/C)

Thanks

I guess you could use MySportTraining and Vidaone GPS. I use it when I go running or biking and it tells me my average speed, miles traveled, and gives me a file that I can upload to Google maps that highlights my route. That might work for you.

There is zero chance you searched for this. There must be a dozen such programs which record basic things like direction, speed, etc.

I searched on here. Found only one (gps speed sentry ) and it reads speed to slowly. When my car ( real car not rc) hits 40 mph it takes about 10 secs for it to catch up. Same with slowing down jus has a slow reaction to speed showing.

Thanks for that link i didnt know of that site. Will see what i can find. If any one has a recommended program let me know

That's how some GPS work. It has to do with how often in Communicates with the Satellites. The more often, the faster, but it uses more battery that way. Over long trips It could mean the difference of battery remaining or not.
