GPS is does work from coordinates -> GPS= global positioning sensor. The Garmins and TomToms give you the speed based upon how fast you move from coordinate to coordinate.

Ah, yes... that is a little more than just a GPS isn't it?

Okay, need year, exact model (Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Laredo or Limited), and then engine.

The speed sensor is on the wheel. Are you sure it isn't saying into the speedometer wire? Years ago, when dashes were not digital, we had to bug into the speedometer cable itself. But I cannot fathom that you need to run a wire to your wheel. You should be able to use a wire to the speedometer gauge.

Does anyone else want to jump in on this one?
