Hi

 

With a bit too much time on my hands - and keen to find a reason to get out of the house  this week,  I tried out a couple of these.

 

I appreciate they are inherently variable as they rely on a good satellite reception.

 

I compared 0-60 and 1/4 mile times on a known quantity for my daily car (alfa 159)  where specs are readily available and results were close enough (within less than 1s on both measures ) the "Ulysee Speedometer"was the most accurate.

 

Chuffed with the times for my mini as I was careful not to wring its neck and I kept under 6000rpm ..... - but the real test will be the RWYB in Feb...

 

If you do try them out..... do please be very careful

 

Best

do they work automatically off GPS?

[Matt Brighton]

Yes... the Ulysee resets itself after stationary for more than 4 seconds....

I guess this is not apple.

There are plenty out there for apple. E.g.

Iv tried some of these on my iPhone, there good fun! I use speedHUD as a speedo (lightbulb on my speedo doesn't work so I don't know how fast I'm going in the dark) and I use car performance meter for 0-60, does braking times too, it's good fun, on a private road of course.

I only use these two as they were literally the first two free ones I found when searching
