False trackpoint speed

False trackpoint speed

This graph perfectly illustrates the value of having the Doppler speed from a GPS as well as the track points. In this case the track points have been affected by a spike and give a highly inflated speed. We can prove this has happened because the Doppler differs and remains at the speed we would expect at that time and place. Doppler is not affected by locational calculation errors.
