Hi Thunkers, When I try to get the speed property of the location sensor (see picture), I get a value between 0 and 1, whether I’m standing, walking or driving. I would expect the value to increase as I move faster. But the value seems to be independent of my speed. Does anyone know what I can do with the value? ![Unbenannt](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/f/af30daf0e90b0ea0dee57cc70498874aa579868c.PNG) ---

After tracing back the origin of this component, I assume that the speed is measured in m/s. If that’s the case, you’re right, the value should increase ---

I on iOS speed shows -1. ---

I have tested it a few more times now and also get values up to 3. I have not yet received the value -1, even if I turn off the position tracking before I start the app. ---

You wrote to the developers on the github that this parameter does not work? ---

@actech: I thought this forum is for such discussions - didn’t know there is another place. But now I found: > [@Report Bugs and Submit Product Feedback](http://community.thunkable.com/t/report-bugs-and-submit-feature-requests-in-our-public-github-repository/31760): > > Dear Thunkers, We value your feedback!
