Aren't you guys saying the same thing, except that the signal comes from the rotation signal for MG2 rather than the wheel rotation sensors?

spiff72 — Yes! My point was that the wheel rotation sensors aren't connected to the NAV — the NAV does not measure wheel pulses. Either way, of course, the NAV gets a speed signal from the car, and one from the GPS, and presumably adjusts the car's reading to agree with that of the GPS.

And to track your movement when you lose GPS signal.
