Figured out a use for the "Average Speed/Velocity" reading

Matticus91 · 06-06-2016, 09:06 AM

Did a long drive recently and forgot what time I had left but wanted to know how long it took. Using the average speed I was able to calculate this since I knew the distance traveled. Kind of silly but I know everyone is always laughing at how useless that measurement is to have, especially so readily available in the cluster.

Only if you remember to reset it specifically.

I tend to reset all these things before every decent-length trip. It's the nerd in me wanting to know all the fun data
