Very accurate when doing a constant speed.
This is all true. I have had GPS speedos in my boats for years. They are very accurate, but they do have some lag. When doing top speed runs in my boat, I have to hold the speed for a couple seconds if I want the real number. I have wondered for a while now why they are not more popular in autos. You can change tire size, gear ratios etc... the speedo does not have to re-calibrated.
