Software is called Visual GPSXP.

You also need either a GPS sender for a laptop or a data logger.

It'll also interface with Autoroute if you emulate the serial port.

Here's us doing 511mph over the south of France on the way back from Barcelona the other weekend.

Quite slow, about 1Hz I think. Its no good for 0-60 runs, only long term average stuff. The top speed is just about right given that you max out and stay there.

If you can get an NMEA compliant GPS signal in to the laptop, yes.

Either live or log to the PDA and save as text file, then that software will open the file as I just have done with those two.

In my car the most I've had is 98mph, didn't hit the limiter so probably would have done a few more indicated MPH (c12nz)

Was with my Dad when he did an indicated 145mph racing a Merc coupe the other night He's got a Leon Cupra R 225bhp scarily quick

Yeah, that was logging altitude at 37k feet as well. Just finished climbing there, the bottom left graph is altitude.

I wish here in Malta we had somewhere where we can see some speed. 87mph is the most I could see before I had to slow down
