Could you build this?
Partial GPS speed display is easy, but reliable road speed limit data is the hard part, since it depends on sparse or proprietary map datasets rather than a freely available API.
What it would actually take: The app itself is a standard mobile build using GPS and a map overlay, but accurate limits need a dataset such as OpenStreetMap maxspeed tags, which are patchy, or a commercial provider such as HERE or TomTom with licensing costs. Crowd-sourced corrections need a sync backend and moderation. Expertise in geospatial data processing and mobile location services is needed.
