Thread: Skin iGO nextgen by pongo (DISCUSSION)

@fuorigioco1981 and @Texas and all other having doubts about this.

We had once (now it's lost) very long discussion about this.
GPS has delay, but every received point is delayed, and it's not affecting calculation of average speed (simple mathematics).
This average is not calculated in long distance, but from point to point that could be visible as "vehicle" is moving constantly (with that calculated average speed), but "point" is jumping from old to new received location.

So, position in any moment could be wrong to up 10m, information for every point is deleyed, but average speed calculated by GPS is not affected by this and is correct.
It is only late for few seconds (or less).

Another thing is that all vehicles are showing 5-10% higher speed than actual.
All involved instruments have some tolerance, tires could be newer or older, pressure in them could be higher or lower, vehicle could be heavier or lighter (which also affects tires volume).
All this affects speed measurement.

To avoid situation in which vehicle is moving with speed "higher" than it is displayed (which is unacceptable), all instruments are calibrated to show higher speed than actual.
For this reason in some counties (like Croatia), there is tolerance accepted by law, which is 10 km/h for speeds up to 100 km/h and 10% for speeds over 100 km/h.

These are facts and not my opinion.
