Hello, the speed indication of my nuvi 760 is about 10km/h less than my car speed indication. Do I need to do any special calibration? Thx.

I have moved this thread to a more suitable location within the forum.

Please have a read through This Thread which is the most recent on the same subject.

For the benefit of others:
The last two similar threads went so far off the rails they were locked so please no more theory about triangles with curved bases and so on.

Simply put the speedo is inaccurate in comparison to the GPS - Mike

no, the gps speed on a straight and level road will be more accurate than a mechanical speedo - there will be slight discrepancies on hills and corners but in general the gps speed is acurate.
