What’s better than using GPS HUD Speedometer Plus by AscendApps? Well, try it on a big screen, on your PC or Mac, with BlueStacks to see the difference.
GPS HUD Speedometer Plus is basically a clean, no-nonsense dashboard for speed and trip data. It pulls straight from GPS to show current speed, average, and max, plus direction, distance, and time on the road. The whole thing feels focused on numbers and clarity. There are several skins to swap between, including a compass style that looks nice on a bigger screen. With BlueStacks on a PC, the layouts are easier to read at a glance, and switching views is quick. HUD mode flips the display so a phone can reflect on a windshield, which is more of a phone thing, but it is still useful to preview and set up on desktop before heading out.
The practical bits are what stand out. Voice readouts can announce speed or distance so eyes stay on the road. Speed alerts are simple to set and there are three slots for different limits, which is handy if someone bounces between city, rural, and highway. It logs routes and builds a stats summary that makes sense, and it supports miles, kilometers, or nautical miles. There is a basic acceleration test for zero to sixty and a quarter mile, which weekend tinkerers will like. Saving a location is available in the plus version, helpful for finding a parked car or a trailhead. It can show speed while using navigation, and it lets users export GPX tracks or back up data to local storage. Since it relies on GPS, accuracy will vary with hardware and clear sky, but when conditions are good it often feels tighter than a car’s dash. No ads in this build, so the screen stays clean.
Switch to BlueStacks and make the most of your apps on your PC or Mac.
