No, measurement between two set points divided by the time taken to reach point B from A
How does a GPS tell a car's speed?
How does a GPS tell a car's speed? I have seen some in-car GPS units that can tell a car's speed. How is this? Is the GPS hooked up to the speedometer?
And if you buy a portable handheld GPS, can it tell your car's speed?

No, it measures the distance that you've traveled and then divides it by the time it took you to give you your speed ie:
Distance/Time = Speed
All the technology and software in the universe is useless when the end user has the IQ of a sack of hammers.

You bet it can tell the speed of the vehicle its just time and distance.
One of my customers fired a truck driver because they clocked him at 120 kph southbound down Bombay hills. Think of it as a high tech stopwatch over a known distance.
If you are going to commit a crime in you car remember to turn your gps off.
