GPS Speedometer Accuracy on Android vs iPhone
Android phones and iPhones can both provide useful GPS speed readings in the browser. Accuracy depends less on the brand name and more on GPS signal, browser behavior, device sensors, and power settings.
What is similar
Both Android and iPhone browsers can request location permission and receive GPS updates for speed, distance, and trip timing.
What can differ
Update frequency, battery saving, browser implementation, location permission settings, and hardware quality can vary by device.
How to improve Android readings
Allow precise location, reduce aggressive battery saving for the browser, and keep the phone where GPS signal is strong.
How to improve iPhone readings
Use Safari or a modern browser, allow precise location, and keep the page active when measuring a trip.
