It's not a lap timer. Lap timer's need a reference transponder located somewhere on the track. The GPS plots your course with reference information (speed/time and distance/time) against mapping coordinates it recieves by triangulating at least 3 satellites. If the coordinates match up, you have a lap timer. But knowing your top speed around the course will be cool too.

Was primarily bought for navigational purposes, but this is a cool spinoff I wasn't expecting.

Slong, they're not cheap. I got the Platinium model from the boat show at 10% off, which was still $900. If you'd like to borrow it for a day, we can go for a ride somewhere and you can check your speedo with it. If all you want it for is a speedo readout, a $200 unit should be able to do that. Dick smiths and any 4x4 shop will sell them.
