Just bought a Magellan Miridian GPS.
This thing is great. Tracks and displays speed (in real time) more accurately than any speedo, with a held top speed so you really know what you got to, along with plotting your course on a map with real time stamps.
Will be good when I get onto the track. They say they won't allow any recording/timing devices. This thing can be left in it's pouch and will record for as long as it's left on (up to 14hrs). Have been playing around with it, but is should be able to record/show corner speeds, straight top speed, altitude, and to a lesser degree, an approximate lap time.
I also know someone who used his Megellan GPS to win a speeding fine in court, as his gps showed he wasn't speeding.
If anyone in melb wants to check their speedo's accuracy, (even when they work, the speedo-checks never pick me up on my bike) or get a mapped and verified top speed run (keep in mind that these devices can be confiscated and used as evidence against you too) drop me a line and we can tee something up. Will cost you a latte though.
Looking at hiding it inside the hump space so that I can get away with it on track days.
