I like that a lot. Of course when the government turns off the GPS system to quell civil unrest we won't have our speedometer in our bloated capitalist motorhomes Shocked Shocked Laughing Laughing

Their ebay store shows a lot of other gauges also but they're spendy.

I just bought and installed this:

http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/market/apps/app/com.unnull.apps.carperformance/Car-Performance

It is GPS based and has all sorts of neat things. A BIG speedo readout that shows tenths of mph. Also various timed events like 0-60, 50-70 whatever you set. Results in time and distance and driven off when you cross the set points.

It also has a neat braking component 60-0. You press start and it gives you a warning when you cross 60. When you come back through 60 on the way down, it starts timing. Results in time AND distance. Also allows you to save results.

Going to be using this to do some braking measurements and should be much more accurate than other methods I've seen used on the coaches.

Costs 4 bucks.

I THINK you could get an old GPS enable phone and run this app without even having a phone contract.
