[QUOTE="Twigg, post: 1172422, member: 27619"] That excellent post about GPS accuracy was spot on, but it is worth mentioning a couple of things. With he exception of steep hills and very low speeds most of the inaccuracies are tiny, and even at its worst the GPS is likely to be an order of magnitude better than a speedometer. The flatter and straighter the road, and the higher the speed, the more accurate they become, but it's tiny fractions :D One thing to be aware of is the delay in reporting the current speed. It can be a couple of seconds and it is due to the fact that the measurement is historic and the software lag in the gps unit. Again, it's a minor point but worth noting. [/QUOTE]
