    Speed = !00% accurate.

    Location = 100% accurate within 30 feet (depends on model)

    As a breathalyser = Not accurate at all - (Well you did ask
    a "general" question)

  3. If you keep one eye closed and aim right you can hit the
    dwarf with your GPS (preferably a large model) before it
    hits you with his axe.

    :-)

  4. Yes.

    Wrong. Try cycling through a forest and watching the speed
    leap about like Zebedee with a brand new spring.

    Actually it's accurate to within 15 metres 95% of the time,
    officially. All depends on reception.

    While walking on Abney Moor on Saturday, my GPS seemed to
    think my top speed was 27 MPH. Now I don't remember ever
    running that fast.
