I see so often here guys posting their speeds via cell phone and not hand held GPS or lowrance/humminbird
I did a test with 5 variations last weekend just to see what the difference would be.
Here's what I used:
2 x cell phones using 2 different GPS apps;
1 x Garmin Fenix 3 watch;
1 x Garmin etrex 30; and
1 x lowrance 5 Elite dsi.
Phone 1 showed 32.2 mph
Phone 2 showed 33.7 mph (I liked this app
) Watch showed 30.3 mph
Both the etrex and Lowrance were exactly the same at 30.2 mph.
Fun little test just to see how cell tower GPS compares to proper satellite GPS systems.
I know this isnt new news for anyone, just thought I'd share my findings.
Load was myself, wife, my 6yr old, and fishing gear.
