Wondering if anyone has experience in using GPS loggers or has an idea what the realistic obtainable accuracy is on these sort of devices.

I worked out which if a device could give your position to the nearest 10m then the maximum error in laptime would be +/- 0.45s assuming an average speed of 100mph. To use the data I intend to write software that can produce lap and split time plus other stuff like average speed etc.
Just a toy for a trackdays seeing you'll get kicked off for using beacons and not every track has magnetic strips plus I'm not really interested in having any sort of live output / LCD display.
