What is uncorrected speed?

I noticed yesterday that my speedo is approx 7/8mph faster than my true speed reported by my GPS.  Do they correct it downwards, and hence uncorrected speed is the true, "raw" speed?

Speedos cannot under read the speed so they build in a safety margin.

Sorry to bring this topic back up but its annoying the hell out of me. I've got the list above as to what some of the settings produce, but does anyone know the full breakdown, as there are loads of other settings that produce other readings?  I've looked on the net and there are codes listed for the MkIV but no lists for the MkV apart from the one listed above.  Is there one that will show the turbo boost (boost guage) by any chance? I've been trying to work them all out for days.

I don't think that they are all meaningful to the layman - must be used by VW bods to check stuff.
