I use a similar unit and I'm quite happy with it. Not sure I'd pay $96 for it although I guess that'd be cheaper than a fine."When strangers meet, great allowances should be made for differences of custom and training". The Lady Jessica - Wisdom of Arrakis -

Yeah that would be a fair price and comparable to one from ebay."When strangers meet, great allowances should be made for differences of custom and training". The Lady Jessica - Wisdom of ArrakisComment

I would never use a GPS based speedo - they only indicate real speed when travelling at a constant in a straight line and when there is no signal reflection of nearby buildings.Originally posted by Pickle View Post
I know by comparing my OBD HUD with the GPS speed indication.

Where does the OBD HUD take it's readings from?
We have passed a line of cars sitting behind a highway patrol car doing 97 in a 100 zone without being pulled over. We had cruise control on set at 100k by the dedicated GPS speedo not a GPS. We have also passed general duties police cars and vans not doing the speed limit
We know it works and is accurate.
Had it for many years without drama.Comment

Lots of cars don't have OBD. Mine certainly doesn't. As to the GPS speedos, mine shows the same speed as my satnav so I assume they're correct."When strangers meet, great allowances should be made for differences of custom and training". The Lady Jessica - Wisdom of ArrakisComment

I use OziExplorer on a Samsung tablet, and Torque Pro on a Sony smart phone. Yesterday, through twisty bits, Torque Pro tracked vehicle speed much more accurately than OziExplorer. I don't know if it's the device or the software, but not all GPS are equal.Originally posted by Skexis View PostNT Platinum.

OBD speed is taken off the driveshaft - same as your dash speedo.Originally posted by BruceandBobbi View Post
The difference with an external HUD is that you can calibrate out the error in all dash speedos.Mike R. Sydney. Pajero GLS NX Silver Jan15. DiD Auto. STILL grossly disappointed with the errors in Speed Limits on major roads in my TomTom.Comment

Think you will find that once you start doing the calibration yourself you throw out any legal argument benefits, unless of course you are qualified and licensed to do so...Originally posted by Mike DiD View Post
Have always used a GPS based speed app on the phone and never been done for speeding in over 20 years, mate who is a traffic copper always told me that is the best defence, if you plan on fighting the ticket & when it ends up being argued in court the GPS always wins hands down.
Just what I've been told and experienced, for what it's worth. Pretty sure the brains trust will have someone who knows this from a better perspective.
