[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2384899, member: 9374"] I use a GPS speedometer app in my Android-based smart-phone in my Tahoe. There is a well-known issue involving the servos/motors in the dash cluster needles, and my speedo is frequenty off, saying I'm doing 30 or 120 when I'm at regular speed. This comes and goes a lot and has been going on for a year or more. I can pull the dash cluster and send it off for repair for about $100. It's not the money that's a problem, it's just that I'm plain lazy and don't want to tear my dash apart. <sigh> So I downloaded a speedometer app for my phone, enable GPS and plug the phone in. It displays real-time speed, direction and elevation data in full-screen, and will even do a "mirror" mode where I can throw it up on my dash and it will reflect off the windshield for a heads-up display. I've checked it numerous times and it is extremely accurate. :D [/QUOTE]
