GPS speedometer with NEO 6M - latency issue

Question

I have built a speedometer, based on this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKuJxjxNP-k&t=34s

The speedometer is for a car, so it needs to be in real-time and accurate, with the actual speed that the car reads. The speedometer is built with a NEO-6m GPS module with an antenna. It is hooked up to an Arduino Nano and an OLED 0.96".

This is the code and wiring diagram. The code is the same as the video and uses TinyGps library. But simplified to just show me the current speed(kmh). I have removed every other line of code, to reduce latency. Wiring diagram of speedometer. Uisng NEO-6M GPS, Nano, and OLED 0.96"

int speed;

const unsigned char sat_logo[] = {

 //TOP LEFT: draw satellite logo and number of satellites
 u8g.drawXBM(0, 0, sat_logo_width, sat_logo_height, sat_logo);
 u8g.setPrintPos(18, 5);
 u8g.print(num_sat, 5);
 
 
 //---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 // Show Speed and align its position
 u8g.setFont(u8g_font_profont22);
 u8g.setPrintPos(54,60);
 
 if (adjspeed>99) { 
 u8g.setPrintPos(47,60);
 }
 
 u8g.print(adjspeed);
 //---------------------------------------------------------------------------
}
void setup(void) {
 Serial.begin(9600);
 neogps.begin(9600);
 
 u8g.setFont(u8g_font_chikita);
 u8g.setColorIndex(1);
}
void loop(void){
 
 Read_GPS();
 
 //Display Data on Oled
 {
 u8g.firstPage(); 
 do { 
 gauge();
 }
 while( u8g.nextPage() );
 }
 
}
void Read_GPS(){
 boolean newData = false;
 
for (unsigned long start = millis(); millis() - start < 100;)
 {
 while (neogps.available())
 {
 if (gps.encode(neogps.read()))
 {
 newData = true;
 break;
 }
 }
 }
 //If newData is true
 if(newData == true){
 newData = false;
 Get_GPS();
 }
 else { 
 //no data
 }
}
void Get_GPS(){
 num_sat = gps.satellites.value();
 if (gps.location.isValid() == 1) {
 speed = gps.speed.kmph();
 adjspeed = 1.03*speed; // the speed is adjusted(increaed) to match the speed that the actuall car outputs. (Because there is a law stating that cars need to overestimate the actual speed by a little bit
 Serial.print("Speed: ");
 Serial.println(adjspeed);
 
 
 
 }
}

The speedometer is accurate and shows the right speed, but there is a latency of around 1-2 seconds. For example, if the car starts accelerating from 0, the OLED shows the speed 1-2 seconds later, the same with when the car brakes. I need the latency to be, at least, less than a second.

I'm a bit of a beginner and not sure how to reduce this latency. I was hoping for someone here to explain to me how I can reduce this latency

• jsotola: what's the purpose of the for statement in Read_GPS()?
• jsotola: reduce your program to minimum code that reads raw GPS data and dumps it to serial port
• PMF: Which NMEA messages do you expect? You seem to be trying to process all messages, but then abort on the first one you get.
• StarCat: By default, the Neo 6M (if it's a genuine U-blox) outputs 1 position update per second but it can be set to a maximum of 5 position updates per second (5 Hz) which will reduce the latency. If you decide to change the update frequency, you should also increase its baud rate. You can use U-Blox's u-center software to change these settings.
