Really depends what your looking for. My Lowrance has gps speed, but I like to see the gauge move and its easier to watch for me and passengers. If you still want a GPS speedo, I havent found any that are moderately priced. Mine is a Gaffrig that is a Livorsi brand, but also reads that its made by auto meter.

Also, I did find some 3” that were cheaper than the 4 5/8 monster guages, but it really depends on what you want. Use google, amazon and ebay and just do a search.

If I come across any, Ill post here.

FWIW....I don't have A dash speedo, I just use the GPS read out. It is easier to read and frees up the dash for other guages.

If all you really want is gps speed, download an app on your phone. Assuming you dont still have one of those dinosaur Flip phones!!

I used my phone before I bought my Lowrance gps chart plotter actually, I downloaded the Navionics App for $9.99 and my area maps! It uses gps and doesnt need cellular to navigate on my iPhone. It even works while on a plane, last flight we were doing 453mph! Lol

Not hand held, a Garmin 500 series mounted on the lower dash.

I like the Garmin GPSmap 78sc ................it's hand held and all I wanted was a GPS read out for Speed ...
don't need the transducer screwed into the transom nor fish finder...does have chart plotter way points
