My units max speed only goes to around 58.74 Km and i am quite sure i have gone beyond. Is this normal or does it give higher readings???

The max I have gone is 35.03 miles/hr, so this is 56 km/hr, so unfortunately I can not answer. I am sure, it will go higher.You can reset your max speed and then try to see how high it goes.

Wow, you are going over 36 miles per hour. Since I have NEVER gone that fast, I can't tell you if the device has a speed limit. Sorry. You can always take your absolute miles or in your case Km and divide by your elapsed time--but that's a bit of a hassle. Sorry I'm no help.

Im not sure but my dog got about 50ft ahead of me and it worked. It should say somewhere on the company website.

Based on my experience normally 1-1.5 miles maximum, specs says 3 but never got that far... BR

My VDO is programmed to read in miles. It can be set for either miles or kilometers. Resetting the data from the most recent ride, time, distance, etc. takes several button pushes on two different buttons. This in contrast to my Campagnolo ErgoBrain, which can be reset with a single simultaneous push on two buttons. There is a stop watch function, but I haven't used it. This is probably best for TT timing. Likely it can be started and stopped with a single button push. Whether the extra few moments required to zero the counters on the VDO is a significant disadvantage over other brands is an individual decision. I am pleased with the wireless design. Have a new Pinarello with internal cable routing, so it's nice not to have wires strung around the frame. The ability of the VDO to display, in fairly large numbers, the speed and cadence simultaneously is a plus. The only real surprise with the VDO compared to previous bike computers is the speed reads in .5 mile increments rather than .1 increments--not sure about the metric function increments. Also cadence reads in multiples of 2, i.e. 80, 82, 84, etc. Curiously, the image of the VDO that I am seeing as I write this is showing speed to .2. Mine only reads 0 or .5 Kind regards, ccwatchmaker@gmail.com

Using the latest ipilot with GPS. The ipilot is slow to update course corrections therefore you are off course as much as 30 feet!!!

Hitting the mode button should cycle between 'km/h' and 'mph' every time you press the button. I assume you are doing this after pushing the "All Clear" button, and if so, sounds like your unit isn't working properly. Only other thing I can think of is make sure the battery is good. I have three of these units by the way, on 3 bikes. Just replaced one that turned itself off in mid-ride and close to impossible to start up again.

Avg 71 max 87 peak 71 I was not precise in my distance but I used an iPhone app to test.

Obviously not your HR, but the speed sensor is a sort of "back up" to your speed & elapsed distance for instances where you are not picking up an adequate GPS signal, like when riding in a forest, near power lines or have a lot of hill/mountain obstructions. I highly recommend the sensor, as I have owned 2 Garmins now, & there are many cases where you will lose your signal.

I haven't had that problem. I usually go between 9 and 11 MPH and the speed indicator seems to reflect that

Yes, mine shows my speed in red when I am over the posted speed limit. It is reasonably accurate, but there are some places, such as recent construction where a lower speed is posted on the road, but Garmin shows the normal speed for that area. So you must not depend solely on Garmin for what the actual speed limit is.

I noticed the same thing, it reads higher than the bayer one I have also by 20 points. This meter is a piece of junk in my opinion, wastes lots of strips.

It gave a 35% reading at the end of my road, a two blocks long. But I don't think it's going to do the 3 miles that one person said. It should still give a reading in a canyon but the direction won't be quite accurate, just go in the general direction and don't worry about the signal bouncing off and changing a bit, just keep going as the signal gets stronger, or try a different direction if the signal keeps getting weaker after 3 pings. You'll notice variance from one to another ping, but ignore the variances, look for the overall/general signal strength and direction it tells you to go. It helped me immensely find my dog several times. It gave a 35% reading at the end of my road, a two blocks long. But I don't think it's going to do the 3 miles that one person said.

I strapped a garmin to mine and read atop speed of 30, bought 2s lipos and it went up to 38 mph, next run fried motors though

I have gone 35 mph and still had a good picture. My boat only goes up-to 35 mph. It is a nice unit.

No, as it doesn't read the speed limit data as a navigational GPS does. You can just get an alarm for a set speed you choose.

Sometimes the GPS doesn't match the normal, actual posted speed limit, showing it to be either slower or faster. Also, it doesn't really recognize if there is road work going on, which is always posted slower that usual speed limit. Remember, fines double in those zones! I always double-checked the actual posted limits and went by those, even if the GPS shows you are going way under what it believes is the posted speed limit.
