I tried GPS Speed sentry and GPS Speedometer and neither are working for me, anyone have anything different that actually works..?? They both worked fine for me back in the day but I guess they're not supported in 6.5.X ROM's..?? I'm on Vin's Pluto 6.5.x ROM...

It's not really what it was designed for, but I'm using Garmin Mobile XT as my turn by turn navigation GPS and noticed that it has a speedo built into it (It displays the posted speed limit and your actual speed). I don't know how much precision you're looking for, but if you don't need anything with scientific accuracy than this might do the trick.

Rename to exe, place anywhere on your storage card, open, go to tools-com- and select com:4, start gps and there you have it simple to the point gps speedo!

I use the one in my dashboard. LOL...
Seriously though... Waze has a spedometer and it's pretty accurate. Fun little program too.

I think its pretty accurate/steady for me, not constantly jumping from 60-65 like on other gps speedos
