Which is more accurate speedometer or GPS?
With a clear view of the sky, GPS speed has shown to be more accurate than most vehicle speedometers.
How accurate are digital speedometers?
The regulation states that speedometers must never underreport a vehicle's speed, while it must never overreport by more than 110% of the actual speed + 6.25mph. So if you're going 40mph, your speedometer may read up to 50.25mph - but it can never read less than 40mph.
How do I know if my speedometer is accurate?
A vehicle's speed can be made by measuring the time it takes to travel one mile. The best way to conduct the test is to set cruise at one speed and measure the time it takes to travel between two green mile markers on interstate or other US/state highways.
Why is my speedometer not accurate?
Speedometers can show the wrong speed
One major factor is the age of the car, as many times older vehicles with a lot of miles and wear on them will have speedometers that are not as exact as they used to be. Other factors include tire wear, tire temperature and pressure, and load on the vehicle.
