New Jailbreak Adds Speedometer To Apple's Own Maps App

A new jailbreak tweak adds a speedometer icon to Apple’s own Maps app. The Speed for Maps tweak was recently added to Cydia, according to news first reported by 9 To 5 Mac. Accordingly:

The Speed for Maps tweak (via Funky Space Money), as the name suggests, adds a cool speedometer icon to the Maps app that feels as if it were integral to the experience. You can even pick you speed unit in settings (MPH, KPH, FPS and Knots). It won’t replace a pedometer in your iPod nano, but you no longer need a dedicated GPS app (the better ones don’t come cheap) just to be able to read your velocity while in Maps. This is one of the little things Apple should have thought of.

For those that are interested, Speed for Maps is available today for jailbroken iDevices.
