In one post you say its working, now you say it isn't?!?!?!?!? I'm gonna assume the flash object is working, but the speedo is off. That said, are you sure the problem is GPS related? i.,e., what's your point of reference? are you sure it's accurate? are you running OEM recommended wheels and tires? which of Tissy's CSC flash objects are you running (I vaguely remember he had to create separate ones for MPH and KPH).

I find my carPC is more accurate than my indash speedo cause I'm running +2 oversized wheels and never bothered to recalibrate the speed sensor. You may also want to recheck your RR.INI in notepad - there was a problem on some systems a while ago where RRConfig wouldn't save changes to the international setting. Don't know if its fixed or not.

All good points Gizmo. However, my car speedo is good. The car is less then a year old. No new tires yet. I'll keep looking.

This is irritating me. All this time and effort and all I hear is "why would you want a computer in your car?".

And my answer is always..."Why Not!"

Does your GPS SW show the correct SPD?

The speed on iguidance shows the correct speed. I noticed that the faster I go, the greater the difference between the correct speed and the Road Runner speedo. Last night I was coming home at about 60mph and the speedo whas over 100.

O.K. Time to debug. Replace my previous GPSSPD line with this one:

Code:

L09,640,10,150,60,2255,255,255,30,"Tahoma:B","GPSSPD",""

This will give you a visible label in the upper right corner of the main menu. Compare this label with the flash reading. If its different, you have the international version of the flash - go back to Tissy's website and download the MPH version. If this and the flash are the same, recheck your RR.INI settings in notepad.exe to make sure you're not using international units.

Report back your findings.
