    Default GPS speedo recommendation

    Speedhut seem to be the go for a GPS speedo but hoping to hear real world experience with whatever you run. Id prefer a conventional speedo dial version and no bells or whistles required.

    im considering going with a speedhut speedo also for accuracy, ease when i do a transmission conversion and because they have 300kph unit with peak recall etc

    GPS speedos suck........... cause you can't see an indicated speed twice as fast as you're going when baking the tyres down the highway LOL

    u can get a normal electric speedo then buy a dakota digital gps speedo unit
    which outputs a pulse to drive a normal electric speedo

    good thing witht hese dakota digital units is it has a gps sensor plus also an accelerometer
    which when u go thru tunnels sort of controls speedo when gps is out

    maybe research that model
    ive never used it but im always on their site droolling and wishing i had money to bring in alot fo there stock for my work

    also pm me and ill give u a number for someone to call regarding gps speedos

    the accelerometer function on my race technology dash works well. speedo still responded perfectly when in tunnels, and it also compensated for the time lag you can get from GPS speedos if you take off quickly
