...Since a GPS gets it's information from satalites, it can only register speed accurately parallel to the earth's surface. As far as it can tell, if you are diving straight down, you are standing still. The fastest reading it would give is at the moment that your plane levels out after a dive. ...
I agree. But a shallow dive will help ground speed quite a lot, At least it does in full scale.
