Some of these kids who dont even have a car must realize you have to keep it vertical and still while in your car (e.g. Cupholder or docked). At a standstill hit start and then go. Fairly accurate if used correctly. Doesnt work off navigation, it works off movement...so yes, moving it forward by tilt will accelerate you pretty quick.
