There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

My digital is 2 mph faster than the stick speedometer...my zumo 550 is generally a little slower (by 1 or 2 mph) than the digital (or roughly the same as the stick)...
I don't go by my Zumo as it's lagging...using a satellite to determine my speed is nice, but I'd rather go with something on the bike than bouncing the signal off the atmosphere and back...
I rely on the digital as it's the easiest to read...if it's off by a couple of MPH, I don't really care...good enough...

Many people do not understand that the analog speedo on the Spyder is actually digitally driven. It does not have a cable, as do typical analog speedometers. It shares the same signal that the digital speedo uses. As such, they should read the same, except for minor calibration error and the error caused by the direction you are viewing from. The needle is higher than the scale, so reading from anything but directly in line with the needle will make it look a bit off. If you are right-eyed dominant, as the majority are, this effect will always be there.
I agree about the digital. It respond in "chunks" sometimes, but it is easier to read and follow than the analog speedometer, that only uses a bit over half the scale when set to "mph". Old folks with bifocals need all the help they can get. :roflblack:
