<VV> GPS Speed Verification on the BFGs

[Crawford Rose]

Bob, The GPS uses satellites to track your position at all times.  When you 
are moving, the satellites estimate your speed as your coordinates change 
over time. I don't use the speed function much in my new car but had not 
tried it in the Corvair until today. As far as mileage, it does not measure 
MPG or anything like that, only distance to end and distance traveled, 
speed, top speed, time stopped and ETA.
