Overview
Speedometer is a lightweight and essential addon for World of Warcraft Classic that allows players to track their character's movement speed in real-time. Whether you're navigating through challenging terrain or simply exploring the world, this addon gives you precise control over how fast you're moving, displayed in either miles per hour (MPH) or kilometers per hour (KPH).
