I run at least one logging GPS in my car at all times for OpenStreetMap mapping. As a result, I've asked several lawyer friends about this situation should I ever be cited for speeding. Just about everyone has said that the GPS data would most likely be overlooked because it can easily be faked (or at least the decision makers have that perception) and/or judges don't know about it (so they default to ignoring it).
- rmc 16y agoAnother problem with GPS is the accuracy (or lack thereof). Sometimes you get a good GPS signal (e.g. outside, clear view of the sky etc.), sometimes you don't, and you position could be off by 10m. Some GPS store the accuracy of each track point (e.g. VDOP and HDOP), some don't. If your GPS doesn't store the accuracy, then someone could claim your GPS is off by 20m, and hence you were speding (or the data is unreliable).
