Why is my KPH off by several MPH and KMP?? .. actual MPH does not match KPH or MPH on playback.

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.

I paid $55 for mine. That's probably the answer to your question! If it was $155 I'd be more irrate! These cameras are made in China and are cheap. Mine works "good enough" so I just go with what I have. Good luck!

Thanks for the help. I've set the tracking to "auto least often" and that seems to nail the distance pretty well. Did a measured 2.6 mile hike out and back through some fairly heavy cover and got 2.63 one way and 2.65 the other. Close enough. Funny though, Garmin "admitted" this was an accuracy problem. Told me the fix was downloadable on their site, with the Web Updater, but I've decided not to mess with it. Don't want their gremlins crawling around inside unless I have no choice.

Hey Dave,Would you tell me how to find out which firmware is currently on my player?Thanks.

Regularly it records in 30 fps when resolution is set to 1080p. If you set it to 720p the frame rate will go up to 60fps. Try that. Unless there is something wrong with your unit.

Unfortunately no, what I suspect happening is the camera is recording video and saving other things like your speed and gps coordinates into the videos metadata. Then when you view the video in the road hawk player it pulls the speed info out of the video metadata.

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!

Exactly is the same for me. I also have a K50...seems other responses are for k30.

I have found mine to be very accurate, although sometimes it will be off usually about a quarter mile for a 10 miles ruen. I think it has more to do with the movement or adjustment of the satelites rather than the watch, since I have noticed on the peaks website that sometimes the course is really off and has me starting out in Lake Erie. There is not really much you can do about it and all brands pretty much use the same gps. If I am running a course for time, I always measure it by my bike or car for better accuracy. I did do a 10 mile race last fall and it showed 10.07 which was very good. Trees and turns or switchbacks can through it off as well.

Yes there was for me, but it will only record speeds at 32kph or 20mph ... contact vender for a instructions

Yes, mine shows my speed in red when I am over the posted speed limit. It is reasonably accurate, but there are some places, such as recent construction where a lower speed is posted on the road, but Garmin shows the normal speed for that area. So you must not depend solely on Garmin for what the actual speed limit is.

You can go to this website http://www.sunchie.com/hp.htm and update your firmware to change the mph to km.

Update: With the newest firmware the BDP 80 plays MKV just fine! Now my only wish is for H 264 playback. THEN it would truly be universal. (although limited to Fat 32 making large NTFS USB drives pretty useless for now)

Hitting the mode button should cycle between 'km/h' and 'mph' every time you press the button. I assume you are doing this after pushing the "All Clear" button, and if so, sounds like your unit isn't working properly. Only other thing I can think of is make sure the battery is good. I have three of these units by the way, on 3 bikes. Just replaced one that turned itself off in mid-ride and close to impossible to start up again.

yes you certainly can switch it between mph and kph. You could also switch the clock from Standard AM PM to military time.

This is happening to me as well.. i have slightly over 1000 songs on my Kubik evo..not sure what is causing it nor do i believe there is a fix or a firmware update to fix this issue... hopefully it can get addressed soon

You know what? That's the one thing I don't understand about the unit. I'll be driving along and all of a sudden the screen will change from normal to traffic, and it's mostly in gray and blue. I have been meaning to call Garmin about this, but just haven't gotten to do it. It's really weird. Sorry I couldn't help more.
