As an inadvertent added bonus, I moved up several notches on the Esteem-O-Meter with my teenage daughter's male friends when I could show them that the maximum speed displayed on the sat nav was 564mph. You could see them wondering how their Corsas and Leons were ever going to reach that sort of speed .....
Yep. I have a speedometer app which recorded my highest speed of 614mph of an East bound flight with a tail wind on an A320 earlier this year. Impressed my sons no end.
