Has anyone used this option? I was driving on some steep grades and felt it was reading about half of the correct grade. Road was signed as 14% grade, while Mav indicated 7%

I wish I could answer, but my FX4 has not been scheduled yet.

My guess is that the road slope is listed as a % and the Maverick lists the tilt in degrees, not a slope percentage.

If that is the case, then they are reading roughly the same. 14% is roughly equal to 8 degrees. There are online calculators to translate from one to the other if you don't like to do calculus. Hopefully this is the case and answers your question.

display is angle in degrees. this simple table clipped from web may be easier than learning tangents. close enough i believe...

I went and checked, the display clearly indicates degrees. Either the display is wrong and it should be percent, or the system is faulty. Either way anyone relying on the incline stated should be careful. All is good, excuse the senior moment.

It sounds like if you saw 7 "degrees" on a 14% Grade, then the inclinometer was nearly spot-on.
