Does anyone have a road angel compact ??

[saxo_appeal]

Im travelling down the dual carriageway at 80 and the reading says 70 on the road angel compact, how do i set this so it reads exactly as my speedomenter?

Will this affect the distance bleeps to a camera?

[saunders]

all car speedos are out, the compact is just displayin your actually speed

Not sure on this, but im pretty sure it will never read your speedo to the exact speed.

If they are anything like TomToms ... I would be doing 70mph, but the Sat Nav would say im doing 61mph.

I dont think it will affect the distance mate, but dont quote me on that.

I feel stupid now, I new speedos were out, but not that much!

Thats y u get stupid people in vtr claimin they can go 60 in second gear, when all there doin is readin the speedo. Ul be surpised by how much they are out by. There set so there most accurate between 15-70, then after that its any1's guess for an acurate reading

the gps is correct, your speedo is out

[saxo_appeal]

hhhmmm maybe the speedo is out, i was doing 100 (dont try this at home kids) :P and i thought i was only doing 80, my speedo said 100 and the gps said 87

[saxo_appeal]

seems like the more you speed up the more it goes out by

[Mystic]

It's proportional.
bo :cool:

Same thread as before, the faster u go the further out ur speedo gets.

dont need one as we dont have speed cameras or a national speed limit whoop whoop

I was shocked a few years back when my Dad got one at how much your speedo is out. Whacked the GPS in mine to work out what I'm actually doing, I can do 35 on the speedo and I'll be only doing 31mph :)

So really when were all being followed by the plod they think were just crawling along, its a wonder they dont stop us and tell us to go a bit faster lol

my sat nav says my speedo is out by about 6mph doesnt matter what speed im doing

[saxo_appeal]
