Using gps to get 0-60 times and other information

no6969el · 02-06-2008, 08:46 PM

I did a search here and google heavily..lol and couldnt find any program that I could have open on my carputer that would read the gps and give me 0 to 60 times and perhaps other statistical information for that matter using the gps. Does anyone know of one?

all pc based gps systems only update once per second.. there's no point it calculating a 0-60 time based on that interval

ok then..nevermind that lol....with that said is there anything that can be incorporated into a car computer that would get these readings. I imagine that there has to be this allready for laptops... when people do that sort of testing?

look into your cars OBD-II protocols. Some cars can create the data needed to pull that information.

It's not for the CarPC, but I have a device called a G-Tech/Pro RR
... it's a box that measures the g-forces generated by accelleration, braking and turning to calculate this sort of information... 0-60, 1/4mile, 60-0, HP, torque, sideways g-forces

etc.
