Has anybody noticed that the speed and mileage is off? It says I'm going up to 15 mph most of the time and I know I'm only going say 9-10.

True. The mileage is impressive. I think I go about about a mile every 2.5 minutes. Impressive!

I haven't had that problem. I usually go between 9 and 11 MPH and the speed indicator seems to reflect that

This is due to the unit being in "Bike" mode vs Elliptical mode. After turning the console on, hold the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously for a few seconds to enter the settings menu. In here, you will find the settings for the mode (Bike or Elliptical) as well as the mode for Metric (Meters) vs Imperial (Miles) measurements.

Yes. Mine doesn't calculate the calories correctly or the mileage. There is something wrong with the panels with this model. I was extremely disappointed; however, I made a decision to keep it since it still gives a good work out.

They don't explain it anywhere but apparently they factor in the resistance? If I crank up resistance into the yellow and go the same amount of time and roughly same pace as a lower resistance, it will say I went further. There is something way off about the estimated calories burnt too - not sure who is wrong but between 20 minutes of high resistance on this elliptical and a 20 minute fairly casual walk using fitness/step trackers like fitbit flex or even the run keeper app, the disparity on calories burnt is huge.

Hey,My understanding is that the base speed is 1.33 Ghz with the ability to go to 1.86 Ghz (like a turbo) when needed. I think this is done to save or provide better battery life without affecting performance. My also displays 1.33 Ghz.Grim

It gets it from the ECU realtime. Seen it as low as 8 mpg accelerating hard, and 115 MPG going down a mountain at 70 mph. There are a couple of places it is displayed, but you have to select it for the maps display replacing arrival time or altitude or one of the others.

yeah i noticed driving over 67 mph my gas mileage got better. increasing rpm's gives it a nice acceleration which allows smoother shifting.

Hello Anne, Thank you for your inquiry. The speed for this model is 10-15MPH.

Mine seems to be a consistent 5-6 minutes. No way on earth it's 15 minutes. I would prefer it to be more than 5 min, but I can live with it.

lol maybe like 1 mpg avg . another thing is lost bottom end power but gained mid -high. I guess its got something to do with how the comp is programmed for stock intake diff air /fuel mix. im goin to try programmer to see if mpg improves.

I have not encountered that problem. It alerts me a little more than 1/2 mile before turn then keeps me posted every so often until the turn. Wish I could give u more insight.

Yes it does but after you slow down going through a small town and hit resume it keeps telling you that you're exceeding the speed limit. I liked it at first as it got to through the twin cities without getting me lost but it cannot be updated and the speed reading isn't always right.

Maybe a minor MPG increase but not enought to brag about. I think it depends on your cruising speeds. Most roads I travel are 60-70mph and get between 16-17.5 MPG. I receive 18-19MPG when traveling 45-55. I noticed a slightly improved response after installation but don't expect a race truck. The sound slightly improved...mostly from Borla Exhaust.

no problem from getgo all 3 speeds w/ the one I got a couple yrs ago. If u r mechanically inclined check all connections. My speed control switch on low has been finicky a yr ago - no problem since. The medium & high positions really move air. Other choice is return f/ swap. Sorry to hear of this bummer & frustration.

It does tell you, but I've found that it's often wrong. My maps are even up-to-date. It's off by 5 mph. For example, if the speed limit is 65, it may say that it's 60. There is not much difference in the speed and it only occasionally happens. It turns red when you are going over the speed limit to let you know you are speeding.

Unknown. Mine is also...reviews prior to my purchase several years ago lamented this as well as it not displaying in mph.Engineering guess is an error in the algorithm...do not know what this says about any location accuracy, but then I didn't get it for that.

Mine is a little slow on the internet. One site lowered the image quality it sent to me because it detected that I have a slower speed. I have roadrunner turbo! I am going to research more to figure it out. Also considering upgrading to Vista and using a SD card to improve my processing speed. Has anyone tried that? I love this computer!

It's on the slow side. In fact, almost everything on my RoadMate is slow. I switched to Google Maps on my phone.

It is upto 15mph,you could slow down speed by brake pedal.Regards,kimoutlet

My tires say 55mph limit. That being said, I drive much faster than that. The low limit is probably due to lawyers and/or cheap tires. I have a spare tire and wheel.
