This app uses location to calculate speed, distance, and direction. This app does not upload or share your location or other personal data with anyone. This app does not show ads or share information with any other apps. Upgrading to the pro version of this product helps us continue to develop more great software and updates that respect your privacy.
The Bike Computer App relies on the accuracy of the global positioning system (GPS) location data from your phone. There can be times when the location data is inaccurate. That affects the speed calculation. The app uses some internal filtering and logic to try to make up for GPS inaccuracies, but it is not perfect.
There is a delay due to the filtering algorithms in the app.
This has to do with the inaccuracies of the GPS signal and the filtering that the app does. The speed display is actually your average speed over the last 20 seconds or so.
