GPS Speedometer

I am working on a calibration app and I would like to incorporate a digital speedometer. popover would be cool, but i guess I need to figure how to request and display the data in a simple view first. Any thoughts on incorporating this into a custom Plug-in? From Apple's reference I can see it will be using CMDeviceMotion Class Reference, and it will need the CoreMotion Framework. From what I can see so far this is over my head, but I am going to keep digging to see if I can find code examples to help me understand. Any advice would be great!

Found this if anyone is interested, http://www.vellios.com/2010/08/16/core-location-gps-tutorial/ CoreLocation seems to be better suited for this task... I need a better understanding of Objective-C to code this out, but I guess I am learning.

Very cool stuff! Don't forget that there are tons of free resources out there to help you lear objective-c. For example: http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/iphone/learn-objective-c-day-1/ or http://cocoadevcentral.com/d/learn_objectivec/
