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
