Formula and calculation method
Speed = distance ÷ time. Multiply km/min by 60 for km/h.
1 mile = 1,609.344 m; 1 foot = 0.3048 m; 1 inch = 2.54 cm. Steps are rounded to whole counts; other displayed values normally use two decimal places.
Worked example
3 km in 36 minutes is 5 km/h and 12 min/km.
Accuracy and limitations
Use moving time for moving speed, or total elapsed time to include stops.
