Mine has a bit of a lag in fast traffic, too, and sometimes I blow by my turn. My handheld I use on the boat and ATV are the same, too, being slow to register changes in compass headings, bearing and mph.
Mine crabs for a bit, then figures out another route, as when sometimes I know that street I was told to take is very busy, or under repair, or don't want to go for some other reason.

Damn, I have about a dozen old quart cans of oil like it used ta be sold. I'd be pretty pissed if someone took an old one like that, unsealed. That would be worth some bucks.

That was in my 1964 Karmann Ghia and happened in the mid 70's. Do they still sell the oil pouring spouts?
I paid $15 for the car and rebuilt the engine with $55 worth of parts.
And now, even in average condition, what would it sell for? I had a couple of VW bugs. They had engines that a Porsche mechanic in Houston built for me. Just 1650 engines, but they screamed. You could set the timing perfectly with just a 12v. tester light. Getting the valve clearances was another thing.

There's a YouTube video of four mechanics removing a VW engine, moving it four feet from the rear bumper, then putting it back, starting the car, and driving away. In one minute, eight seconds.
You know, those pouring spouts really worked good. So was the can steel or cardboard?
Cool! If you still have it I'll double your money!
