First few 100 miles on a 2018 GSA + TFT
- Thread starter rjsmith26
- Start date
It would be good if the software recognized when a satnav was in place and took the speed reading from that device to inform the tft read out. The in your face disparity would irritate me.Glad you like it.
My 18 GS is noticeably better than my 14.

Ahh, you get used to it... 
Cue a number of members running out of petrol, blaming BMW for not having the gauge constantly displayed!
Almost as bad as some member setting off on a French trip and his GPS map finishing at Calais then.

Software updates being rolled out at this very moment, me is hearing...............
TFT software update out next week apparently so have booked mine in for early April so hope it sorts out the stupid fuel range issue and the occasional dreaded blank screen. 
They would not be allowed to do this. The SatNav speed is only accurate when going in a straight line on a flat road. If you go through a series of bends, or up or down a steep hill, the SatNav speed will read too low.

Well you live and learn. With out wishing to cast aspersions on your good self, is this a referenceable fact or internet hearsay? Edit: it seems what you say is accepted fact according to a quick search and a Daily Telegraph motoring article

I started to answer the question, before I noticed your edit. I'm glad I did notice it, it is much harder to explain in writing than it is to explain face to face! It saved me a lot of typing.
If you are ever at Devil's Bridge and spot a new GSA Rallye TE ask if it's me (Bob) and I'll happily bore you with the 'why' and 'how' over a brew.

Yes I get to the bridge a fair bit. You won’t see me though because I’m camouflaged
That'll be why I haven't seen you!

Mine did that to
I was so glad I took my old GPS as a spare.
My nav 5 did that also.
Heading to Poland and arrival in France realised no map.
Luck or not, all other countries were there, garmin didnt like France obviously but update sorted it.

So what changes are made to the TFT with the recent update?

Though not quite as embarrassing as trying to turn your bike into a piece of modern art on some back road

Good point well made
though it is not the funniest thing that has occurred whilst away on a jolly jape
Good point well made
It's all ancient history now.
