I knew the GPS were way off as my previous Navman was spot on compared to the cars speedo, but the TomTom is way off the mark. So I don't trust either! It's only an indicated speed, not actual speed, so we can only go by what is shown with its +/- tolerance.

I have always found the TomToms in the cars at work are pretty much spot on and match the calibrated speedos exactly.

Well in that case my speedo is off, oh well I'll carry on as before.
