GPS speedometer

[Jim Nilsen]

I have a Racepak and the gps works well and it has the anntena mounted under my rear spoiler. i also have a Stewart Warner 200mph speedometer in the middle of my dash. You might ask why?

In the wondeful state of Ill. you have to have an odometer and the Racepak will sometimes lose the odometer info from what everyone has seemed to experience. The odometer on the SW will also make my insurance man a bit happier when he wants to be sure how many miles I go. It would be no problem I would think if I lost the odometer info from the racepac or the SW but I just wanted to comlply. I have also had a few times the gps was not able to get a signal and the SW was there for me. The SW also sometimes read high and other times low for whatever reasons, not by much but it is off sometimes from the Racepak gps speed.

If you deduct the cost of things like gps,total data aquisistion, lap times, left and right g forces ,accelerometer for braking and acceleration, and a host of other items and deduct the seperate cost of units from the actual cost of the Racepak you actually get the most number of gauges for the same or less cost of most any other totally complete gauge package from anywhere else.

I went over my original budget to get the Racepak vs the Autometer Nexus gauges that never came to fruition and now am glad I did.

Get the right gps and it will give you so much more than just speed and how to get there.
