Hey guys, I am looking for recommendations for a GPS speedo sensor for my build. Just a basic speed sensor tho, don't need/care about my heading direction or any other bells and whistles. So, what have you run and what do you like? Thanks in advance!

Autometer has them. Haven't tried one yet.

I'm running a SpeedHut GPS speedo in my Chevelle. Seems to work well, the only times it has acted funny was under bridges or in tunnels when it may be losing signal. Speed is very accurate, we tested it with my dads expensive work GPS. I have no complaints with mine.

I have the Autometer GPS speedo antenna and I love it. As with any GPS device it will not work in tunnels or parking garages. The antenna is about the size of a postage stamp and has a magnetic mount. The Autometer GPS is adjustable which allows it to be calibrated to just about any electronic speedometer. A couple of observations about the GPS speedo operation in general. 1. They are very accurate regardless of gearing or tire diameter. 2. They can take a few seconds to acquire satellites each time you start the car and if you start driving before it has acquired, it can take up to a minute for the GPS to lock on while the vehicle is moving. Over all GPS is a simple no hassle way to drive an electronic speedometer without having to mess with senders on the drive shaft or transmission and GPS does not care if you decide to change tire sizes or gear ratios.

Speedhut all the way. Ran by the grandson of the original owner of Autometer. Dont get me wrong Autometer is a great product but I really like helping new companies get a leg up and Autometer was sold off years ago from what I read.
And Speedhut can personalize your gauge face, even do custom stuff if your willing to pay.
