oh wow this is great news

nice, I know a lot of us have been waiting for this one

Ok so I downloaded the demo and seems like a nice program to use. Would love to register it but would like to know if anyone has tried it. My main concern is

Q: GT display shows INACCURATE most of the time and acceleration measurements fail. Why is this?

A: Some atmospheric conditions, especially during autumn, can cause inaccuracy in GPS satellite signals. GT monitors signal accuracy constantly, and INACCURATE is shown if acceleration measurements are not possible because the results would not be precise enough. Note that sometimes it takes up to fifteen minutes for the GPS receiver to connect to all available satellites.

Of course its raining here so I wouldnt be able to test it right away but several of my friends frequent the track and would love to see how accurate it is

does this thing give out an audio alert when you go over a certain speed?

that I'm not sure about, but I grabbed the software and I'm going to try to take it to the track with me soon and I'll do a little write up for everyone.

any updates on this?

I know dynolicious.com just released an accelerometer based one which works much better than a GPS one..

I have tried it a few times and it's pretty accurate compare to my G-Tech RR meter.

Just a note on this. Its very good but you are reliant on the GPS seeing the satellites ok (though it's better thatn my old Sony NVU50).
