*Hello Jerry,* Be it iOS or Android, the GPS system responds slowly and cannot track your speed accurately.
This is probably a cause of multiple factors: namely, the slow tracking and interference in the signal. On the Apple platform, for example, if I were on the street between tall buildings in Tokyo, I would lose the signal altogether. Yet, even if you have a good connection, update speed, and direction of travel may be fuzzy. Hope this helps, and I'm sorry your newly-bought device is not performing as you expected. best, Dan On Thu, Mar 28, 2013 at 12:25 PM, Jerry <[email protected]> wrote: > I recently purchase a bicycle handle mount for my iPhone 5. > > Among other things, I wanted to use the phone as a speedometer. > > I downloaded a couple of apps from the App Store, and they seemed pretty > accurate driving down the highway in my car. > > I had a chance to try them out on my bike tonight, and both of them appear > to be consistently inaccurate. > > What I mean by this, is that the both seem to have me moving along at 10 > MPH, as long as I was moving.
