my truck won't do cruise control that slow!  But, we have gone slow on lots 
of dirt roads (like mile and miles getting to and from some camps) and it 
always seems to match up pretty well.  The external antenna helps a lot on 
the GPS.  On the 2001 XP we had many miles of roads early in the ride and 
the crews followed us (mostly played leap frog), so we got a pretty good 
idea of our rate of speed (what else did we have to do, watch corn 
grow?)  On that ride, however, we did keep the horses at a 10 mph speed or 
under.  I rode with Kayla (junior) most of the way and as soon as we would 
hit 10 mph that kid instantly (and I mean instantly) knew and would say 
"we're speeding".  Each time one of us was caught speeding, we had to pay 
the fine with an ice cream.  :-)
