It seems to be functioning fine apart from the max speed option. Last week it told me my mas speed had been 65mph and on Sunday it recorded 76mph :shock: Now I know that I am slowly getting a bit quicker but not that much :?

Any ideas anyone?

    Speeds like that on my 'puters has usually been a symptom of new battery time, if wired just the head unit or receiver and transmitter if wireless.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Wireless often use a simple radio wave. If you pass something on a similar frequency it will record twice. A car dealer near me leads to a max speed of 60mph and if my bike is near the wireless broadband it hums along at 23mph whilst sitting still.

    This was the reason that I ditched my wireless comp and went back to wired. The only reason that it didn't tell me that I was going backwards was that it didn't have the facility for negative speed!

    I'd suspect the battery. Do a google for the make and model - you should be able to find the instruction manual on-line. It should have the usual 'troubleshooting' guide
