Ever wish you could tell how fast you were going as if you were the one behind the steering wheel? Well, gopinathann, has created an app that mimics an automobile speedometer. It uses your device’s built in GPS to track how fast you are moving and displays the speed on your screen.

This could come in handy if you’re riding a train or bus and want to see how fast you’re going; or if your friends like to drive fast and you want to keep an eye on the speed, but can’t view the meter from where you’re sitting. So far, this app is only available for QVGA and VGA screens, but the developer is thinking about WVGA as well.
