GPS a bit... optimistic.

I've had this Garmin GPS for a while and when going 30km/h (ish) the GPS tends to show values between 35-40km/h. The GPS also indicates movement when stationary. Could the device be faulty or is this kind of behaviour to be considered as normal.

Thank you for your answer. I
Thank you for your answer. I contacted my local stockist and they will send it back to Garmin as faulty.

No that doesn’t sound right
No that doesn’t sound right mate. GPS can lag a wee bit, so could still display some speed just after you stopped, but should otherwise be accurate.
