Hi Rob,

You will generally find that your cars speedo is out by some 10% in most if
not all cases and will read higher than the GPS speed.

This is great when on a motorway etc and you see a police car ahead.
Everyone else is driving with their speedo readings and staying behind the
cops and you use the GPS to pass them all. The looks you get are great :o)

Dave...

Marcus,

I get something like this every now and then but not so severe. The
indicator shows that I'm sideways in the road sometimes but corrects
itself as soon as you start moving.

The odd thing I have noticed is that my speed on TomTom is
constantly 4 mph slower than that shown on the car speedo.

Rob
