Aircraft Airspeed - iAware
Original Release Date for this iPhone App: January 07, 2009
Displays a photo-realistic aircraft style Airspeed indicator, or Speedometer on your iPhone. Modeled after analog instrumentation in general aviation aircraft. This application is a cool looking dual unit speedometer. The meter movement is smooth and realistic.

NEW VERSION 1.06 includes:
1. GPS signal strength indicator
2. Compiled and tested on iPhone OS 3.0 and 3.1

See your current speed in both analog and digital displays simultaneously. Both displays can be configured independently to show Knots, Miles/Hour or Kilometers/Hour.

A pop-up view displays all information coming from the iPhone GPS, including Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, Speed, and Uncertainty.

Includes a simulation mode that allows the instrument to be demonstrated indoors without a GPS signal.

Has a selectable smoothing effect to give the pointer a realistic movement.

Requires an iPhone 3G with built in GPS and a good GPS signal.
The iPhone GPS has a limited resolution and will update no faster than once a second. Additionally the iPhone GPS reports values that may be a few seconds delayed. It may take a minute or two for the iPhone GPS to "lock" and provide accurate values.
You must be moving at a fast walking speed or better for the iPhone GPS to report a speed.
A good GPS signal can usually be achieved with a clear view of the sky.
This software has been tested with firmware version 3.1.
Price:$0.99
