I also did a comparison of a Garmin 12XL with an accurate bicycle odometer on 
a tour last year (before SA ended). At that time, the GPS speeds kept within 
about a half-mile per hour (one kilometer) with the odometer at a steady 
pace, but it took about a speed of 8-9 mph for it to kick in accurately. I 
haven't had time this spring to try it again, though.
