My Garmin GPS steady state speed accuracy is 0.05 meters/sec or 0.1 mph. Position data is updated once per second. I might accept the GPS reading over the speedo.

While there are position errors in GPS, those errors change slow relative to the once per second update rate so distance traveled in one second is very accurate.
