I have a question for anyone who has actually used one of these GPS units for this application, measuring vehicle speed of travel: How fast does it update? How fast does it respond to changes in speed? Is it only good for average speed on the highway? If I am traveling at 30 and then speed up to 40 how fast will it register that? I assume that there is some lag and averaging going on and it would not really work very well in terms of getting an accurate speed reading all the time. But I don't know.

Thanks,

Mike
