So as my triumph wagon nears completion, i've been looking around at GPS speedometers.

 

I did a search and found a couple, like this one:

 

http://www.buygpsnow.com/GlobalTop-HG-100-HUD-Bluetooth-GPS-Receiver-w-Speed-Meter-(51ch-MTK--5Hz--WAAS)-(Your-Choice-of-Free-Mount)__931.aspx

 

and anothr one that i cant remember what it was called but was limited to 100 or 120 mph.

 

What i'm really interested is in something more like the Racelogic Driftbox, or VBOX

 

http://www.driftbox.com/

 

Which operates at 10HZ, and cost $500. I like the idea of data mapping and whatnor. What do you guys think? Where's the best bang for the buck? IS there anything that operates at a higher Hz and is in the same price range?

Hey man,

 

I'd suggest using a autometer programmable speedo, the're about 200$ bucks and are calibrated with a handheld GPS while driving. I have one in my car its pretty accurate and easy to re calibrate if I switch rearends.

 

Unless there is an awesome reason to uses a GPS signal I would say forget it. They also go pretty high too I can't remember how high mine is, but its high enough I wouldn't want to go there in the Datsun .

 

Cheers

 

Chris
