How accurate do you think the GPS speed reading is?

I took my hand held in my truck on a long drive last week.
I compared the truck speedo with the handheld, they were way different. I know the truck is off a bit cause I changed to a larger tire, but the difference was alot. How accurate is that handheld WAAS and all??

I use my Raymarine chartplotter GPS for my speed in the water.
I don't trust the fishfinder paddle speedo at all.

Thoughts ???????????
