Anyone else have this problem if it is one at all!....I have a 12' gc bought it brand new with like 10 miles on it,with it now having 12,453 miles(from what the odometer reads) buttttt when I go thru the navi settings where you can view max speed,engine hours an mileage, the mileage reads 12,985 miles, wtf!? how is that possible
EDIT: I had to edit this after looking at it again this morning, the difference is actually 4.27% (not 0.33% like I originally said, nice math skills by me on my phone laying in bed last night browsing the forum lol). Not sure what would cause the variance though!
It's a 0.33% difference. I'd guess GPS tracks true mileage and the odometer will be slightly less because most cars the speedo reads 1-2% lower than actual.
MSWLOGO was on the right track. Your dealer is probably 532 miles (+-) away from the factory in Detroit where the Nav was set. The Nav read the movement of the transporter.
Not to mention if the Nav doesn't have a locked signal or thinks you're some place else temporarily when it finally locks on to your location there is obviously some impact to the mileage.
My charger always had a 50 miles difference, drove me nuts. Both jeeps don't seem to have a difference.
On the charger, you just tapped the speed section when on the nav map view and it would display all the additional vehicle metrics like top speed, hours, mileage, etc.
If you commute in your vehicle, that would explain a lot of it. GPS does not update constantly. Matter of fact, most GPS systems often "estimate" your speed quite often. Stop n go traffic or even erratic speeds will rack up miles on a GPS. Ever made a wrong turn using GPS? You will notice that the little marker will continue along the correct path briefly until it updates and sees you made a right turn. It just "estimated" you continued.
