Your gauge is fine. I set my idle to 950 and that keeps the temp under control. It is fun to watch the gauge rise until the thermostat opens and the gauge falls again. Your water pump might be worn so that it does not move a lot of fluid, you could have a very dirty radiator (flushing the fins with a hose spray to get out any dirt might help), getting a fan shroud will direct the air through the radiator better, make sure the cap on the overflow bottle is in good shape, and just run over the slow pedestrians.
