GPS says 60 when speedo says 61.5 mph. GPS says 58.5 when speedo says 60 mph. This is for two DT300i 2013.

Garmin says 70 speedo says 71.
One of the most accurate I've ever had.

To settle any accuracy questions once and for all,  may I suggest  holding it at a steady 60mph past a 30mph limit speed camera?

Mine seems pretty accurate, at least with those radar solar powered roadside signs. Sometimes I need to nudge to a hair over 50 indicated to get 50MPH to show on the sign but I do not think it is 51MPH. I've only had a few bikes but this is the most accurate by far.

As I go through your comments I realize that mine works like sh** , when driving 140 Km/h the GPS shows 125
Is there a simple way to set it right?
