Digital_Cowboy Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I have a blue eTrex Legend and every now and then the trip computer displays the wrong max speed. I ride a bicycle for transportation and it'll show a max of 55.8 MPH, I'm good, but not that good or fast. Quote Link to comment

Hey, I have the same unit, and I set a record for speed-walking once - something like 893 mph. Just a satellitical glitch... it happens! Quote Link to comment

Just a satellitical glitch... it happens! I can count on it happening several times a week. The only time I can see myself hitting 55+ miles is going down the Sunshine Skyway bridge which is illegal or teathered to a car. I hit 300plus miles in a friends truck. Quote Link to comment

+StarBrand Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Basically - the unit lost touch with the sats for a few moments and then caught up with your new location or The unit picked up some errant signal bounce of of someobjject and calculated an errant reading. Mainly due to the poor patch antenna on the unit and lack of a high sensitvity receiver. Quote Link to comment
