More questions from this first season owner.... how accurate is the speed from the original Tri-Data? I am going to use the GPS speed box on my phone for comparison but was just curious about everyone ‘s experience??
Interesting question. I have no answer. But on my “new” boat I have a Tridata and an old Raymarine Raynav 300 GPS plotter (which feeds my RL80c plotter). I also run an iPad as backup. So I have 3 sources of speed. My tridata and iPad are usually in sync, with the Raynav reporting slower.
Like i said, I have no answer. But I’m inclined to believe the iPad/tridata since they are independent and agree with each other. And the iPad is 10+ years of newer technology than the other stuff.
