Best Iphone app for GPS Speed

I have an Iphone 4s and have tried a few speed apps but they don't seem to work. Does anyone on here know of one that does work

Also on a small SIB is there a simple Depth finder and GPS that perhaps works on batteries in the unit

I use an app called "Speedometer", the app photo is a black speedo on a green and red background showing 55mph. I've tested it alongside my handheld garmin and it's accurate to the decimal point

+1 for Speedometer on IOS. Don't use it on the boat though as a small Garmin GPS (72) is much more useful and practical.

Going to try and get a G meter app too, would be cool to see acceleration and G's through the turns

Just downloaded Speedometer. It works and looks good but is there a way to get more accuracy than hole units ie I get 1,2,3 MPH while walking is it possible to get 2.4 etc

You are looking for greater precision not accuracy!

Not sure if that's the right one, mine goes to 1 decimal point

Yes it is the one and I am very impressed indeed. Cant see the decimal point bit though might be an Iphone setting possibly
