HOW TO USE YOUR ANDROID PHONE AS A SPEEDOMETER

Admit it. At one point in time you have always wanted to know the speed at which the vehicle you are travelling in is cruising but you cannot because you are too far from the driver's seat to catch a glimpse of the speedometer.

You curse (or pray) silently hoping you'll get to your destination in time, or alive.

But with an android device, you don't have to be seated next to that crazy driver who drives like a lunatic to figure out the exact neck breaking speed he's negotiating L bends at .

Okay. The blogger  in me is overriding the techie. 
Let me do what I do best before I end up blogging on entirely different, and meaningless subject (like post Valentine's Syndrome).

Anyway, you can use your android gadget as a speedometer.
Here's how:

Prerequisites
  1. Stable data connection
  2. GPS service support on your device
  3. Basic Google Play knowledge
  4. As much common sense as you can garner
Procedure
  1. Turn on your GPS location services on your phone.
  2. Head over to Google Play and install DigiHUD Speedometer .
  3. Now launch the application and get the truth (on speeds) from the comfort of your seat away from that gear-lever happy driver.
PS: You need to be connected to the internet all along.

THAT'S IT!
Have fun busting your driver over speeding or snailing you to work.
