Well, I tried an experiment this afternoon with the stock gps and it raised an interesting question.
There has been discussion on the difference between the analog speedometer and the digital one. There were questions on why the accuracy difference.
My thought was that the front wheel provided the speed indication for both analog and digital. So to prove this theory I did the following.
I put the but on a trailer, had some one tow me while I videoed the speedometer and GPS. In addition I had my Garmin Xumo Xt installed as well so we would have a base line.
As I was recording it I did find out that there was no speed indication neither analog nor digital which is what I was expecting. The shock was that the stock gps was not indicating the travel. It stayed on the starting point of when I began the test. I did record both in accessory and with the bike running to see if there was a difference. There was none.
I stopped and shut the bike off and to just check I started it back up to see if the stock gps would find the new location. Which it did.
I cannot explain why the stock gps did not show the travels. So that is the new question. The Garmin Xumo did show the travel.
So now I have to see if I can figure out why. I do hope this answers some questions. Or it may just generate more, I know of at least one.
