It will be out by a number proportionate to the cosine of the angle of the slope

I mean, I don't know if they can compensate for hills and such.
I've heard about the hills thing with sat navs, but surely the fact that they use at least 3 satellites to triangulate your position means they can tell your height as well?
Presumably it must be a failing on behalf of the software if it doesn't take into account the height of the vehicle when calculating speed?

How do I access the speed thing? I have a TomTom 510... Anybody know how to get it up on screen? because I havent read the manual
Anybody with TomTom able to answer the above?
from memory
main menu > change pref > skip 2 or 3 to "staus bar pref." > tick what you want
Cheers buddy, will try that in a bit
I want to see how much a speedo is affected from changing wheel sizes up from 14" hubs to 18" alloys

The 106GTi is about the same as that, im quite sure the Mondeo was about the same last time I had the tomtom in there.

Right, well the speedo is out by about 8%.
