Bob,
A GPS is fine for telling you speed over a longish period of time but due to the way it has to calculate your speed it can come up with some significant errors.  It also only tells you how you are doing relative to the earth and you need to know how you are doing relative to the water to know that you are setting sails right on proper course.

Why not just use the knotmeter on your helm mounted chartplotter/gps?
