Fresh from Florida - GPS
Our new GPS expansion module, connected to our MXL, was put to use this past weekend at the Fresh from Florida 200 Grand-Am race, held in conjunction with the Rolex 24 hours of Daytona. While we considered the export to Google Earth a fun feature, and perhaps useful for point to point events such as solo racing, hill climbs, rally racing, and similar — this kind of accuracy will prove equally, or even more so, useful in circuit racing. Just look at the detail from this practice session…
There's always been discussion around GPS use for comparing driving lines. A common request is "…can I drive around the inside of the track on one lap, then the outside on another, then somehow merge those two to create map boundaries?" Well, with GPS data this good, used in conjunction with satellite images from Google Earth, you can concentrate on your racing and less on your surveying skills. Good stuff! We're excited and there is so much more to come…
