That would be one solution due to the non-linear markings. I could figure out what speed to label where on the dial, then print a new dial to stick over the OEM dial. I'd likely make a big mess of it though.
Well if I was to attempt it, I'd get some transparent, pressure sensitive [non-adhesive] vinyl and cut out a circular piece to fit over the speedo. Taking a drive with the gps on, I'd mark the vinyl at the various increments with a permanent marker then remove the vinyl and scan it into something like Coreldraw! then make a "pretty" copy using the vinyl scan as a template.
If you have a way to print onto an adhesive substrate, all well and good. If not, find someone with a Cricut or take the file to your local sign shop and have them output a couple on to the vinyl of your choice ...but heck, that's just what I'd do!
