It doesn't have a speedometer function, but I selfhost Owntracks for personal location tracking with my Android smartphone.
It has a back end that an android app sends location too, and a front end that displays those location points over a map. It can display lines between consecutive points, show a heatmap of the location points, filter location history within windows of time,, and more.
This could be something, I'll have to see about integration between this and some other apps I've read about. Maybe I can cobble something together.
Thanks for the info neighbor!
I've been using traccar (https://github.com/traccar/traccar).
It's mostly for fleet management, but I've been using it as a replacement for Google maps timeline.
Its android apps ara basic but haven't had any problems with them.
Or if you find a service which doesn't provide a client you can use this app https://github.com/mendhak/gpslogger
It allows you to send the gps data to different services with their specific formats at the same time. I was using it to send the data to traccar while also saving it in a local file.
Nice, I'll have to check this out. I started digging a bit F-Droid and found Open Track, but I'm not super impressed with it so far.
I'll hop on and give yours a shot too. Or at least peruse the docs, thanks for the info neighbor!
FitoTrack is a nice open source fitness tracker which shows the path on OpenStreetMap background. It logs position and speed data.
You can create a custom workout which shows you the current speed instead of average.

What do you actually need it for?
Just need to know my speed on the tractor so I can accurately measure the amount of fertilizer I put on per acre. I have a simple tractor with no Speedometer so I use my phone to track my mph in order to factor propper spray rate.
Couple that with the map to ensure adequate coverage of my acreage and I've got the necessary tools to ensure that my land is properly maintained.
FitoTrack may be suitable for that.
If the Map is not fitting totally you can even correct it on OpenStreetMap.org by yourself
Yeah, OSM isn't bad, I have dabbled with it a bit on another app I have tried. Thanks for the info!
