Ground speed from an iphone?

[rdarby]

Is there an app that will use the iphone GPS to give you your ground speed? I can't find one that actually works it out for you. Is it possible?

Any GPS app that will display speed will give you ground speed. I use two apps on my Android phone called MyTracks and OruxMaps that will give ground speed. On the iPhone I believe an app called Map My Tracks will also display your speed (ground speed), it also logs your flight using the GPS.

I have made extensive use of my iPhone aloft and recommend GPS ($1.19) for its very easy to read display, which includes ground speed.

 

I also use InstaMapper GPS tracker to lay a trail of breadcrumbs. My wife can follow my flight in real time, and after I get home I use it for analysing my trip. Each breadcrumb show altitude, ground speed, heading lat/long and time. Unfortunately it only transmits while in the foreground, and its display is only just readable in flight, but I can easily switch between it and another app such as GPS.

Has GPS got a more descriptive name? I get every GPS app when I search for it?
