rbsoft Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Aug 31, 2011 #2 The value is 3.6. The GPS NMEA protocol delivers the speed in meters per second. Thus for meters per hour you would have to multiply this value with 3600. Divide by 1000 to get kilometers per hour. To cut that short just multiply by 3.6 and you have kmh. Rolf Upvote 0
