GPS based performance meter
Hi,
I'm aware of a GPS based meter called the DriftBox.
I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a Sat-Nav product on the market (or in development) with software that can measure performance (it'd seem to make sense if a sat-nav and performance meter could be a single device..?)
Cheers...

The basics - acceleration, and anything that can be calculated from speed and acceleration (power output, G's). Much like the DriftBox

Oddly enough there is a performance box (made by the same people) which does all of that and more, it even liks to google earth so your performance data can be overlayed on the track.

Interesting to see that bookatrack are cross linked from the performance box information.
Bookatrack make a big thing about absolutely no timing on their trackdays (invalidates their insurance), so I wonder what their view would be on using this device on the track. One could argue it was just doing data logging, but you couldn't help but time the laps too.

I cant see how GPS systems would work due to the accuracy or lack of pinpoint accuracy, DGPS probably a different story.
If you want to measure performance your better looking at a device called "Gtech" not that crappy
