You're talking about VMG (Vleocity Made Good) as opposed to SOG (Speed
Over Ground). Some GPS units can report VMG if you have a waypoint
set but most people just look at SOG.


My term for it is course made good or your progress rate toward your
goal. I agree that we were not in disagreement as much as discussing
different things.

For me, I don't care if I'm doing 20 kts over the mud if I'm also only
moving 1 kt toward where I want to go.

Why I'd hoped Skip would check in is to see what he used to determine
whatever showed him doing those 12 kts.
