I trust the 9500ix, although it does have an annoying lag.
The lag on mine isn't that bad? Maybe I just drive a slow car. :o
LOL. I don't know. Mine takes about a one half to one second to catch up or slow down. Even coming to a red light or something it will show 3-4 mph for about a half second after I stop.
Oh yeah, mines about that lagging. No big deal to me, I guess. So are you running Speed Display and Spec Mode?
Yeah, maybe it's not too bad. The satellites are in outer freakin' space after all. :D
I run speed display (but not speed alerts) and spec mode. I sometimes switch to expert since every CHP is running 34.7 anyway.
Re: 9500ix GPS Speed Accuracy
Every one of my vehicles is off per my 9500i speed display. My freakin truck is off by 10 mph at 65! ( I am actually only going 55) Once you use the speed display, it's hard to live without.

Same here. Speed alert makes it take longer to display the frequency.
