If you want to have any kind of ranking and competition that is fair and meaningful, you must have a verifiable level of accuracy, otherwise you might as well just make up some numbers.
And therein lies the problem, the current rules aren't enforced so the competition becomes meaningless. A verifiable level of accuracy is great in theory but if you aren't going to follow up on the basic rules what's the point.

From what ive seen there has never been any one intentionally cheating. There are heaps of ways it could be done but i think every one is pretty honest about it all. Once i saw one i thought looked too good to be true so i checked it and but the guy just did awesome which is great .No matter how technical the gps was all some one would actually need to cheat is a jetski or on a even cheaper level if they dont like to get wet they could just write a program to generate the numbers or actually we still alow manual entries dont we so they only need to know how to type.

It is enforced - all of us know about the GPS-Speedsurfing website and its "record rankings".
Keep up the good work Simon.
All new GPS's had to come from somewhere and be developed somehow.
The idea of being able to build a bespoke unit is very appealing, it's just the software which is daunting.
But all this at the end of the day can be easily checked against existing benchmark units.
once again, keep up the good work
