Maximum Speed in Google Location Services for Android

I am writing an app that needs to be able to measure speeds and I am using Google location services for Android to get speeds. It works fine up to around 300KPH and then the speed simply comes back as 0. I tested this by using the app on a recent flight I was on.

Does anyone have any idea if there is some kind of limit in place?

Well I ended up creating my own speedometer using a handler that calculates the speed based on distance traveled between calls to the function. It seems pretty accurate, now I just need to get on a plane to see if it works at high speed.
