[gps-talkusers] Re: e: Re: Possible Bug

Depends on your travel; if you go places a lot alone and they are new areas then it would probably be helpful. If you are normally in your home town, campus, or whatever then it will not be as useful a tool as if you travel a lot. It is a decision only you can make, though, and keep in mind that upgrades cost about as much as keysoft upgrades and, as with ks, you cannot skip updates; just as you cannot go from ks7.0 to 7.5 without installing 7.2 first, you cannot go from gps version 3.5 to 4.2 without installing 4 first. 

Have a great day,
Alex

Also don't forget, as I think Charles mentioned some time

ago, GPS has less resolution than the readings in your car.
Everything GPS is broken in to one second blocks where the
dials are hard wired so the dials will show micro speed
changes more accurately.  GPS is more accurarte when you're
dealing with a constant rate of direction and speed.

 Is Richard a bug?

   Hey Richard, haven't seen you since our Mexico Cruise.



   Regarding this speed difference, our GPS systems should

be much more

   reliable than any car speedometer.  The speedometer

could be off for many

   reasons such as transmission and rear end gear ratio or

tire size and

   pressure.

   I, too, have noticed the difference in reported speeds

between a speedometer



   and the GPS - all versions of the GPS since, 2, I think

and across

   receivers.  However, I have put this down to the fact

that I've been told

   that car speedos are intentionally set slightly higher

than actual speed in

   an effort to curb speeding!



   Possibly not true, I suppose, but I like the sound of

it!

Actually, I have found this too as of v4 with a blue

logger.  In lower

versions with the same receiver and bn it reported fine,

but now,

especially while walking (as opposed to moving in a

vehicle) it seems much



faster than it used to; my normal walking speed was around

2 mph or so and



now it is normally around 3-3.8 even though I walk the

same.  This happens



with all types of coverage and, as I said, with v4 (sorry

Sendero, but my

money goes to keysoft first--v4 is good enough for me).



Have a great day,
Alex

Jeff,



So, you are running the latest,Sendero GPS 4.22 and are

noticing

that it

seems to report the speed information 2-2.5 MPH below the

actual

speed? I

would seem about obtaining a Holux M-1000, the latest and

greatest supported

receiver   and see if this issue is still occuring.  The

only

thing that i

can think of is the timing of iether the key press of for

the GPS

to capture

your speed is about a second off.



Most of the time, I have found the speed reported from a

speedometer and the

Sendero GPS are insync.



Kevin

Hello All:



This is not a major bug, but thought I'd put it out there.

I

thought for a

while that it was either my receiver or VoiceNote, but I'm

getting

consistent speed differences when driving at highway speed

between the

Sendero and 2 other tested GPS's and almost ANY speedometer.

In

all cases,

I'm almost exactly 2 to 2.5 mph slower then their measured

speeds.  If they

are traveling 70 mph, the Sendero will show 68 mph.  I don't

remember this

error being present in earlier releases.  In the grand

scheme of

things, not

a huge difference and at walking speed, probably error is

non-existent,

however I wanted to see if others are finding similar

results.



For the record, I've tried this on a GPSlim236, the blue

logger,

and the

old Magellan (I think).  The one with the serial cable and 2

double A

batteries.  I've also just gotten the motherboard replaced

in my

VoiceNote QT

so I don't think it's the bluetooth stack.  I compared my

speed

reading

between both a Garmin and Magellan car mounted GPS and have

found

similar

test differences between myself and those, and just about

every

speedometer

I've tested against.



Just Curious
Jeff
