As a user of GPS on my ST I am able to compare the value shown at my
speedometer with the actual GPS value.
The percentage of failure at my speedometer is not linear - that means at 50
km per hour the failure is < 10%+ (actually speed is then 47 km/h), at 100
km/h shown speed the actual speed is 91 km/h, at 130 km/h the real speed is
120 km/h and at 200 km/h the real speed is 194 km/h.
Maybe other ST users will have other numbers - but as long the speedometer
is not a linearized electronic device the errors will always be present.
