Complete Journey Data at Your Fingertips
Unlike a single speed reading, the tracker builds a comprehensive record of your entire trip. Every phase of the journey is captured — from the initial pull out of the station to cruising speed and the gradual deceleration on approach.
Peak Speed Detection
The tracker automatically identifies and records your maximum speed. See exactly when and where your train reached its top velocity during the trip.
Running Average Speed
Your average speed updates in real time, factoring in station stops and slow sections. Compare it against the timetabled journey time to judge service performance.
Distance Accumulation
Total distance covered ticks up throughout the journey. At the end of your trip, you have a GPS-verified distance measurement for the entire route.
Exportable Trip Log
When your journey is complete, export a detailed trip summary. The log includes timestamped speed data that you can review, share, or archive.
Get the Best Results from Your Tracker
A few simple steps ensure your speed tracker captures clean, uninterrupted data for the whole journey.
Start Before Departure
Begin tracking while the train is still at the platform. This ensures the acceleration phase from standstill is captured in full, including the exact moment of departure.
Keep Your Screen Active
Set your phone to stay awake while charging, or increase the auto-lock timer. A longer screen-on duration prevents the browser from being suspended during your trip.
