Holy Poopoo, that looks awesome, i've been looking for something like this for ages, (i fried my speedo ages ago). BTW, you're an Islander, can i ask what town? Not specific address but just curious what town/county you're in. I'm and ex-Islander.

If you were ina plane, maybe but then again, GPS isn't supposed to be able to tack that fast, well, at least not civilian GPS.

friedrice, i definitely do know that. all i say is that the program doesn't work for me showing me nonsense and i'd like to know why. i am not the only one with these problems but there's no support unfortunately. mph doesn't work either, i tried it.

Yea, I dono, I'll have to test it out when I get a rx.

Probbaly just parsing the line wrong, maybe it only works with some GPS RX's? I'll have to find out when I get the time.

i wish you could make it work. there is no such stuff in the net. i came across showgps, very nice, but unfortunately not transparent for use within a navi.
good luck

maybe we have different signals or different devices here in europe with different output ? but i don't think so.......does anyone know ?
you're using desti pn with the 2006 maps i suppose ?
so you also need extra speedo because there's no way to use the desti data ?
same problems all over the world...

No destinator is showing speed, i just need this program so that i can show the speed in my secondary monitior in the rearview mirror.

Any update on the bug?
