castro7 rob327 Member 227 Member For: 17y 1m 23d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW and Bribie Island QLD Posted 17/03/08 03:13 PM Share Posted 17/03/08 03:13 PM I took my handheld GPS for a drive and apparently my speedo is 5ks off at 100... Holding down reset for the avg speed actually shows the same speed as the gps...so I guess the analogue speed is dumbed down, but the car knows whats really goin on... so in theory odometer would be correct...The family Territory ghia is the same deal...

John K Member 141 Member For: 17y 3m 26d Location: Sydney Posted 18/03/08 03:55 AM Share Posted 18/03/08 03:55 AM Mine seems very accurate.My T is brand new with factory 18s and at freeway speeds the GPS says there is nothing in it.I was in a hired Mitsi 380 two weeks ago (with GPS) and when the 380 speedo showed 110kmh, the GPS was showing only 103!
