The Challenge
Boaters need to read their speed at a glance, often in bright sun, spray or darkness, and frequently out of mobile range. Most speedometer apps are designed for cars, cluttered with features, or depend on a data connection.

A clean, easy-to-read GPS speedometer designed for boaters and sailors
The Result
Boat Speed is a GPS speedometer for boaters, sailors and water sports. Large, high-visibility numbers update several times a second, with smoothing for steady readings, and a tap switches between knots, mph and km/h. It works offline, has day and night themes, and a picture-in-picture mode lets people check their speed while viewing maps or charts. A premium subscription adds an animated compass, custom colours and larger text, and removes ads. Boat Speed has passed 10,000 downloads on Google Play.
