+1 the GPS readout is more accurate over the speedometer.

I had a TomTom setup on our Easter drive to Melbourne, running alongside the RNS510. This may sound strange however when I heard that fixed speed cameras in Victoria have no warning signs before them like the ones here in NSW I thought I'd use the TomTom as an alert device.

The irony: I was busted for speeding anyways just before the border by a cop hiding at the bottom of a hill. His radar pinged me at 122ks, my GPS readout was exactly the same (speedo was showing >130) For the rest of the trip I set the cruise @ 121ks, drove past two more cops in Victoria - no dramas.


Fuel consumption for the trip (Sydney > Melbourne > Twelve Apostles via Great Ocean Road > back to Sydney) 5.9/100 That's with 4 people + luggage. Range on the MFD 860kms - highest figure I've ever seen on the car. Pretty accurate as well, only had to refuel 3 times. Cheaper than flying there.
