A GPS is a cool way to check a speedometer. It's easier than finding a
measured mile. I recently swapped out the non-working speedo in my street Bug
with another one I de-munged w/ liquid penetrant and WD-40. Tonight I got a
GPS speed of about 55 MPH vs. a speedo indication of 60 MPH. Which is good
enough for me. Next step is to check the odometer and trip meter vs. the GPS.
