Hi Ben!
Your wlcome. Glad to hear, otherwise I have to track.
I have done some more test with the GPS work nice, buuuuut

when I measure the groundspeed I measure compared with my navigator in the car,
I see:
26 km/h FC9 GPS > 50 Navigator km/h
53 km/h FC9 GPS > 100 Navigator km/h
70 km/h FC9 GPS >130 Navigator km/h
Do I forget some calculation or?
Thak“s in advance
Jorgen

Hi!
Little progress. After I change the Return variable from Int. to Float (as the it also should be

) the speed is now more liniary. But the speed I readout is only the half, so I have to multiply with 2. Is this the way???
I perform some test today with speed up to 70 km/h and compared with my navigator almost equal.
Tomorrow (monday) I have to drive a longer trip, my job, and I make some more readout and get some more experience and you hear.

Hi again!
By multiply the readout with 2 (why this?) and compared with navigator in my car and speedometer on my phone I get.
The FC9 GPS -------------- Navigator
Km/h 108 > 100 km/h
" 130 > 120 "
" 97 > 90 "
" 86 > 80 "
Ect..
Something to do please

Hi Jorgen.
GPS returns ground speed in knots. To convert from knots to kph multiply by 1.852 and hopefully that gets you close.
