Ulysse Speedometer Alternatives on Android

Choose NitroHUD as a Ulysse Speedometer alternative for themed gauges and a free mirrored HUD, or KTW Apps’ GPS Speedometer : Odometer HUD for speed displayed over a navigation app. If you depend on Ulysse’s broader dashboard tools, check what you would lose before switching.

Check which Ulysse version you mean

As of November 5, 2026, Ulysse Speedometer Pro has an Android listing on Google Play with a one-time purchase. Its displayed update date is August 20, 2021. The old free edition’s US Google Play address returns a not-found page; it is not an available free download there. This comparison uses Pro’s official description. Check whether Google Play offers installation on your intended phone before paying. An update date alone does not establish whether an app works on that device. NitroHUD is not affiliated with binarytoys or KTW Apps.

NitroHUD vs Ulysse: gauges and dashboard layouts

NitroHUD is worth considering when the speed display is your main reason to switch. The free Nitro, Digital, and Classic themes offer an arc, segmented digits, and a needle dial. Pro unlocks the full set of 15 themes, including tape, bar, and ring styles, plus five dashboard layouts in total. Solo keeps a compass below the gauge; the Pro Quad layout adds trip figures, altitude, compass, and odometers. These layouts determine which information cards appear together. They are not separate vehicle profiles, and the Navigator layout does not provide turn-by-turn directions. Choose by the information you need visible, then check the actual screen at your normal viewing distance.

Choose KTW Apps when speed needs to sit over a map

KTW Apps’ Google Play description lists a floating speedometer that appears over navigation apps, along with mirrored HUD mode, trip history, route review, and export. It also lists light and dark modes and four speed units: mph, km/h, knots, and m/s. That makes it a candidate when a separate full-screen dashboard would interrupt your navigation. The listing offers free installation with ads and in-app purchases. It does not establish the purchase type or export formats in the description, so check those in the app before relying on either. Do not assume that an export feature means it produces the particular file your workflow needs.

Identify the tools you would miss

Ulysse Pro’s listing includes vehicle profiles, music controls, background operation, and weekly and monthly trip summaries. NitroHUD does not offer those tools. It uses one set of settings and a list of individual saved trips, with no floating speed window over another app. It also has no supported background trip-recording mode: keep NitroHUD visible rather than relying on a continuous log while using another app or locking the phone. If any of those missing functions is essential, replacing the gauge alone will not replace your routine. Write down the controls and reports you actually use before deciding that a different dashboard covers the same job.

Separate free access from Pro tools

NitroHUD’s free features include the speedometer, mirrored HUD, compass, live trip figures, one speed alert, and three gauge themes. Free users can view the most recent saved trip. Pro adds access to more saved trips, CSV and GPX export, additional themes and layouts, acceleration timing, G-force readings, altitude, grade, and odometers. NitroHUD has no in-app ads. Pro uses an auto-renewing subscription, with weekly, monthly, and yearly plans; check Google Play and the app for current terms and prices. Compare the features you need with their access requirements before subscribing, especially if your only goal is a different-looking speed display.

Check saved-trip limits before moving your records

NitroHUD’s history holds up to 200 recent trips, not an unlimited archive. Storage pressure can reduce that number, and a new trip can be lost if storage is completely full. A saved confirmation is not proof that the record survived: open Trips afterward and confirm that it appears. Real trips must reach both 50 meters and 20 seconds to enter history; demo trips are excluded. NitroHUD has no Ulysse history import or KML export. With Pro, export important trips as CSV or GPX and check the files before deleting older records. Keep your existing archive until the replacement meets your needs.

Match the timing tool to the measurement

NitroHUD Pro offers 0–50 km/h, 0–100 km/h, 0–60 mph, 60–100 km/h, 100-meter, and 400-meter timing options. It also has a G-force display with longitudinal and lateral readings and peak values. These are reasons to consider it if you want measurement tools alongside the gauge. They do not establish a precision advantage over another app. Choose the same units and test definition when comparing results; NitroHUD’s 400-meter option is not labeled as a quarter-mile test. Use performance timing only on a closed course, with the phone secured and settings finished before moving.

Check readability, including warning behavior

Try the screen in the mount you intend to use, while parked. In NitroHUD, the speed digits can pulse dimmer during an overspeed warning, and some themes use small, subdued secondary labels. Check the unit, GPS status, and warning display as well as the large number. Demo drive lets you examine the display without driving, but it does not demonstrate real GPS reception or create a saved road trip. A theme you like on a handheld phone may be harder to read farther away. Finish theme, unit, and alert changes before setting off, and keep using your vehicle’s instruments.
