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


Dual 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?

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
