0-60, 1/4 mile, top speed Software??

[Nez]

I've got a Hewlett Packard iPac PDA with a GPS receiver. The OS is Windows Mobile Pocket PC 2003 pro.

Does anyone know if you can get any software that would record 0-60, 1/4 times and top speed etc..??

Cheers

Not sure about WM but if you've got a S60 symbian phone : http://www.tempes.com/

I'd have thought something else was avaliable somewhere for windows mobile.

No, not unless you've got a special GPS unit, which unless you've spent thousands of pounds, you won't have!

Commercial GPS units output a fix once a second, survey grade output at least 5 per second. The ones used in the automotive industry for this very task output 20 *real non-interpolated* coordinates per second.

Accurate enough for what I want which is basically just a mess around, wouldn't be using it for measuring industry standard times for the reasons above.

I've been searching all day.. found loads of box things and road angel style gadgets, but I just wanted to utilise my iPac.

I use Tempes GTi same as Bmh.01, as for accuracy my 0-10, 0-20, 0-30 times etc were not far off the figures obtained by Evo magazine when they measured a 182, they must use some pretty fancy kit then, my time were out probably because i have not done much 0-60 runs, my engine is as tight as a you know what and i did not get gear change perfect ie, the lever is still attached to car.
