Bought one from here last week and it arrived next day. Was actually dispatched by Amazon.co.uk?

Gave it a little test as well.

It didn't managed to hold this frequency for too long but settled at about 4-5hz.

The below pictures aren't the most accurate as I just took it for a spin in a relatively built up area.

Iphone driven path vs dual driven path with GPS fixes.

Iphone fixes only

The data exported as .vbo from the iphone can now be imported straight into circuit tools for lap overlay etc.

I ordered one of these yesterday. I'll give it a shot next week.

So Harry's can be imported into Circuit Tools?

Is that correct?

Can someone email me a Harry's file over?

I use this with my iphone its in all my cars i use it every day with tomtom for my work and it has
Enhanced GPS Performance

The built-in GPS receiver enhances the GPS signal, eSpecially in areas where GPS reception is limited i.e. high rises.

Mark, how do you mount the iphone for Track day though?

Also does anyone know a mount that works with our rear view mirror?

Laptimer exports .vbo files, but I couldn't get files created using the iphone's internal 1hz to import correctly. I think the latest firmware update exports the data slighly differently so this might work. If somebody was out on the 31st with the latest firmware update it might be worth asking them for the ,vbo export. With laptimer and the dual gps it works perfectly but I don't have any trackdata yet.

It sticks to the front window using the mount Billy and is charging the phone when in use :thumbs:

[billyboysm3]

MSV down south wont let us stick it to the window. Needs to be a clamp.

For those that were interested in external GPS I finally got some data to test the .vbo iphone export into circuit tools. Seems to work very well indeed, just need to learn how to use circuit tools properly now. For some reason circuit tools reports the times slightly differently (ie longer) than HLT. Other than that the resolution appears good enough to look at your lines etc etc.

Circuit tools corrects drop outs and is more accurate. ONeill prefers Harry's :)

Having had a look again it is actually reporting the same times, but I was comparing against a PB file that had a different start end point.

Interesting toons Bret ;) :hahaha:
It seems to shudder between gear changes though, and that's on the road with soft G/box setting. I wonder how it's going to behave on track in S6 :whistle:
