Can you send me over some more details on that please Flymo. It could possibly save a lot of faff with apps, GPS units etc.

As trackday season fast approaches, does anyone else have any recommends for gps stuff?

I use Diablo superbiker on my phone for tracking routes on the road. It also has a track function but never used it. May be worth a look as it is free.

Ive checked with RaceChrono about exporting the data for overlaying onto videos and you can still do it on the Android version. I have used it before on an old Nokia running Symbian and it seemed to do the trick then. I was using the onboard GPS though which was rubbish so Im looking for an external bluetooth GPS device. The Garmin GLO and Qstarz BT-Q818XT are the front runners at the moment. Has anyone any experience of them?

What sort of price are they? No experience of any GPS devices other than my TomTom so can't help you there!

Regards

The Qstarz is about £50 and has been used quite widely, going off what people are saying on the RaceChrono forums. The GLO is about £90 though I think and Im still to hear what people think of it. It looks better on paper but seems a bit dear to me. Both do 10Hz

Still got an Alfano digital race dash for sale if interested. Much more accurate that GPS for lap timing as it works from an embedded sensor wire in the track itself.

See earlier post. Open to sensible offers.

Which external GPS receiver did you use?

Apologies for the late reply. Its a Holux GPS slim 236. About the size of a matchbox. Works really well , i just velcro'd it to the dash. My old phone which was a HTC desire whose internal GPs was not that good and would "drift " off the circuit so thats why i got the external GPS Rx. My new phone is a GalaxyS3 and is telling me the internal GPS is accurate to 20mtrs. I have tried it in my truck and it seems very accurate.So depending how accurate a time is needed maybe it doesn't need the external GPS ?
