Default LEO article

I was reading an article posted in 'Heloise' the other day. A LEO from Texas says to never use the GPS as a spedometer as it is inaccurate????

He claims to be pulling people over who says: 'Officer, My GPS says I am going the speed limit!' They were traveling over the speed limit. He hinted on Heloise that people should not use their GPS as a speedometer as they are inaccurate.

As stated in this thread I find the boat's speedometer readings off from my GPS reading. I am planning on using GPS to keep within the speed limit on the lake. I have observed my GPS as 'dead on' with the speedometer readings in my truck. I also heard that stored data in GPS is being used as evidence in court cases.

Should I be confused?????
