Smile Opinions on G-Tech meters

I have had a G-Tech SS meter for awhile.The jury is still out on it's reliability,as far as I'm concerned.It's kind of a neat toy to start with but that fades after awhile.I never expected it to be spot on or anything,as long as it was consistent.I've gotten some weird numbers on it before.Any body else have any opinions on the G-Tech?Have a good one.

I've had 3 of them over the years, I noticed that you need to be on a really flat(not downhill or uphill) road or your numbers will get messed up. The mph is always going to be higher on the gtech since it measures your actual mph. But as far as accuracy I took it down the track with me a few times and it was always within 1 tenth but not more than that since the gtech can't compensate for roll out. Fun little toy, used to be great when I lived in Colorado because there were plenty of long roads in the middle of nowhere, but there aren't any roads around here for me to enjoy it anymore so I gotta stick to the track .

I think they're fine as long as the user realizes they're not going to be accurate every single time.
