Speed Testing Guides

Comprehensive guides to help you get the most accurate results.

Getting Started

GPS speed measurement works by calculating the change in position over time. Your device receives signals from multiple satellites to determine your exact location.

Factors Affecting Accuracy

Satellite Coverage: Clear sky visibility ensures better satellite reception

Update Rate: Higher GPS update rates provide more precise calculations

Environmental Factors: Buildings, tunnels, and weather impact GPS accuracy

Device Quality: Better GPS chips provide more accurate measurements

Best Practices

Before Testing

• Allow GPS to connect and stabilize before starting

• Ensure sufficient battery power

• Close unnecessary apps to free up system resources

• Position device with clear sky visibility

During Testing

• Maintain steady speeds for baseline measurements

• Avoid sudden direction changes

• Keep device stationary relative to your vehicle

• Monitor GPS connection throughout the test
