Yep found the same thing with Google and hilly terrain.
The results are far better if you can find either flat ground or gently rolling hills.

On the error in the speedo it may be a built in factor. Some makers side on the "reading higher than actual speed" aspect to help keep drivers legal and avoid any clams against them for speeding fines etc.
it may also be a manufacturing error with the actual speed of the needle being accurate but the scale behind being slightly off if it is truly consistent at all speeds.
