KSJohn Posted October 10, 2002 Posted October 10, 2002 Is it just me or has anyone else had trouble with the Max speed on their Vista?? I leave mine plugged in at all times in my pickup. Went to reset the trip computer the other day and it was showing 166 mph top speed. Reset a few days later and it was showing 142. No one but myself drove the vehicle between times and I can guarantee that I was no where close to this speed. Quote
+Stunod Posted October 10, 2002 Posted October 10, 2002 Max speed can be way off if you have had reception problems. Your GPS might place you at a location a few hundred feet from where you really are, then get a better sat signal and "move" you there. The GPS sees you as moving those few hunderd feet in a second...pretty fast top speed. "Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand." Quote
+OtterFan Posted October 10, 2002 Posted October 10, 2002 I managed to hit 4,400 mph this weekend. My head still hurts... :-) --------------- I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure... Quote

KSJohn Posted October 10, 2002 Author Posted October 10, 2002 As I said, I was the only one to drive the vehicle (98 Dodge Ram w/360). I'm sure it governs out around 100 somewhere (never tried it). Just thought it was strange. Had never had errors on the max until I did the upgrade about a month ago. Quote
+apersson850 Posted October 10, 2002 Posted October 10, 2002 Don't worry, that's nothing that was caused by the upgrade. It has happened on my Vista now and then since I got it, with version 2.18. Now it's 2.41, and it still happens now and then. My top speed was something like 240000 km/h (sure, it's a Volvo Turbo, but...). Yesterday, it logged max elevation at 29999 meters, which means I was jumping pretty good, since no airplane was involved. Anders Quote
