Good luck

My GPS in my 6.0l Calais records maximum speeds, I was just looking at it today and I've sprung my mechanic driving it at 212km/h.
I'm yet to identify the location, but what do you think I should do with this information?
Any ideas?

SubscriberI second Scarry. The guy has been rather foolish to say the least, and a quiet word in his ear without drama will usually fix things, rather a blow up session where there are then two aggrieved parties.
Your mechanics attitude then will determine, if any, the action to be taken.
Maybe a free service???

SupporterDoes the GPS specify the time and date? They can sometimes have a funky reading, not saying that's the case, but best to be sure before accusing someone...

Yeah, I've got to pull out all the data first, haven't downloaded it yet.
Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comAfter a trip to Vic in the Forester, I checked the GPS and found it had recorded me travelling at over 200km/h near the GOR. I know I hadn't so you might want to be really confident that it is accurate first.

As others have said - do nothing until you have had a good look at the data, GPSr can record a spurious position and give some dodgy speeds to that spurious position and back to the real track. the GPS in the work hilux at ~305kph.

SupporterMy GPS gives a transiet High Speed readout when I exit a tunnel, I think it calculates tunnel speed at 80% of speed limit, so if you get through the tunnel sooner than expected, it gives a momentarily high speed reading.
My GPS is just a cheap ALDI unit in a Defender, so there's no chance I could ever achieve such speeds. Your unit may be more complex, but a single, transient reading is most likely to be a glitch.
