The speed displayed in the tooltip on the map is often wrong, too. I've seen it be off by as much as 1.5-2 kts.

Best to use the 3:00 rule, or some other technique to measure speed just to be sure.

yup, there's been a few times where i found one of those radio contacts, and when i checked his speed, he wasn't doing the speed the tooltip said.
