My satnav is built into the dash and speed display is small and needs a good stare at, not very practical especially in France where there is no allowance for error.

My dash-cam has a speed readout which is what we use, it's switchable between mph & kph so fine either side of the English Channel (sorry la Manche).

Both the dash-cam and my laptop running Autoroute both agree on our speed.
