Yes, it will do that and more. One note of warning though. I used it on my sailboat and it did not survive its first dunking.

Thanks for telling me that. I haven't used the GPS much after that time. I think I need to read the manual when I have time. :)

I have found that it does not pay any attention to the info you put in. My roadmate tries to put me on a parkway (cars only Low bridges). I do not trust the unit and always check the route it gives. My advice would be to change the info when you are using it for the truck. My wife bought the GPS even after I told her about bad reviews.

Yes, speed in kmh or mph. I save a file and download into Strava which has even more data analysis.

hi Bharatappreciate if you can please share how did you work it out! I am also facing the sismilar issue. I have used it & it worked but took a long long time (almost 15-20 mins) to get the GPS signals. Even after that it signals were showing half on its scale.

Man, you must have a ROCKING car wash business going.Also... pretty close. All commercially available GPS units will be about the same as far as accuracy.

Yes, the GPS is way off! I returned the unit and got a Kenwood unit with Garmin GPS

These GPS units will still calculate calories burned based off your speed and distance but it is a minimum calories burned based off the information and not accurate.

Not accurately. Your phone must have GPS capability for it to work. It bases it off of your cars weight, engine size and engine RPM, and your speed according to your phones GPS. Even with that information it still isn't very accurate. However it is a VERY awesome and handy device! I love it!

not quite like google maps' traffic layer on android/iphone, but yes there is traffic info. the navigation recommends alternate routes that you can preview & accept, or ignore at times traffic gets heavy

I have found it very easy to use. If you keep the GPS updated it finds the signal quicker. If you don't keep it updated I've had it take up to 2-3 minutes to link up. On average, I'd say it takes 45 seconds to 1 minute to link.

If you have the GPS module plugged in, it records speed. can be incriminating, so i opt'd to not get the GPS module as i have in-dash gps with all that stuff

I am not sure. I would go to the Garmin site and do your investigating there.

The G offers the GPS uploads Free from cobra. You just sync your 650G with the only database and it marks things like known speed traps, High traffic accident locations.. and stuff like that. Mine has warned me numerous times with the speedtrap alert when the posted road speeds just changed. I am very happy with mine and I have make several trips from Nashville TN, to Detroit Mi.

Check to see if your GPS is set for yardage or meters . This will make a difference in your readings.

Live data seems pretty fast to update but there are a few things that give different types of measurement like on maf it reads something other than grams per second
