Re: GPS as opposed to odometer

My personal thoughts are the OEM Odo and Speedo are very accurate, however are always slightly "conservative" in that they read 1-3 mph optimistic to account for mainly tire OD variations.

While I do realize the GPS is also very accurate, I don't think it "samples" the data as fast as the Odo setup and any transmission time lag (low bandwidth) can be problematic.

I would not worry unless you are getting busted for speeding when all other indications signal that you are in a legal or "safe" range.
