SpeedTM is a new app which combines a speedometer and GPS on a smart phone to help motorists track and verify (based on GPS positioning) their speed at any given location along a designated route.

SpeedTM is designed to provide an independent record of location and speed. SpeedTM can also be used for a variety of other uses. The app—consisting of a map that shows location, speed and a time stamp—is especially useful for business travelers or athletes who cycle, hike or boat. The app provides continuously updated position points and speeds throughout a specific journey. The convenient start / stop feature lets users get a breakdown for even short distances.

Among the broader uses, SpeedTM is particularly useful for:
• drivers who wish to have an independent verification of speed and location
• small and medium sized businesses who need to keep track of drivers and deliveries
• business travelers who track mileage for business expenses
• athletes who track speed, location and distance for hiking, biking or marathons.
