Regardless, I suspect your GPS measurement is pretty close too. When I apply the error to your TS figure: 22.8/23.3 X 2575 = 2520, which is VERY close to the original 2522 figure that you started out with, and which I still think is closer to the right value.

Honestly, I'd put in 2522 and call it good enough until you get some data that PROVES otherwise.

Edit: Guess I was slow in giving you an answer. Compare your Tom Tom's speed with the Gryphon's speed.

Thanks and will do on the speed. The original TS of 2522 however proved to be too low according to the Camry, which we "suspect" to be accurate. I'm going to set at about 2550 and see what I get. I'm about to depart on a 180 mile journey as we speak. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks again.
