How to Calibrate with GPS

The easiest way to verify speedometer error in the real world is using a free GPS speedometer app on your smartphone. Find a flat, straight highway stretch, set your vehicle's cruise control to 65 mph, and compare your phone's satellite GPS reading with your instrument cluster.

Odometer & Maintenance Impact

Taller tires also slow down your odometer. If your tire diameter is 3.5% larger, every 10,000 miles on your odometer represents 10,350 actual miles traveled. Keep this in mind when scheduling oil changes, tire rotations, and lease mileage limits.
