[DeTomaso] Speedhut versus Autometer gauges help

[Roland Jaeckel]

In town, they are zero accurate. If they don't have contact to all 
satelites, they can't notice, that youre driving thrue a turn.
Whatch for it in town and anywhere while changing speed quickly. They can't 
follow as quick as a convetionel speedo can. They work for a boat, but that 
is way slower in changing speeds.
