Quite honestly, $150 is a steal for this. I think the seemingly millions of users would agree.

@tecsto7069 Год назад

Yeah but not other option of company do it best, so they ask what they want.

@sneakwastaken 3 года назад

With modified wheel/tire combos (or possibly other things) you can change how fast you are really going relative to what the speedo says. That may be why it was off by 2-3 mph.

@NWAuto 3 года назад

I was thinking that too. But my wheel setup was same size as stock. Tire setup was not much different.

@hendrahendra 2 года назад

Legally manufacturers have an in-built 'error' to their speedo, they have to read higher than the actual speed. So if a driver speeds and gets into trouble with the law, they dont have an excuse. At least thats how it goes in Australia.

@trashbandit2449 2 года назад

@@hendrahendra same in US. It's illegal for them to read low, so I assume they have it read just a tad high to be mostly accurate and be on the safe side.

Anybody know if any of these GPS meters can overlay g force from a given acceleration run in graph form? I remember either car & driver or road and track used to give the g force comparisons for different cars and it was such a useful chart because it showed you what each gear actually felt like vs. raw numbers.

The light tree doesn't come up while you're recording, it just overlays it to when you launch. Click the camera button on the top left corner, then when the screen comes up and you're ready, push the red button to record. When you launch it'll put the tree on the video automatically.

Can you actually see on your phone your 60ft times in actual time? Like say you take it to the dragstrip and watch your phone as you leave the starting line and can tell if you are slower or faster on 60ft before reaching the finish line? This would be helpful to a bracket racer.

@NWAuto 10 месяцев назад

You connect to your phone through bluetooth. From there it uses your phone camera to record

@PatchedBandit 3 месяца назад

Would be cool If the user could set parameters themselves. Like measuring acceleration from 30kmh to 120kmh would more accurately measure bike performance as the initial start of a drag is too much down to the rider and not the bike. I would like to use this to measure performance differences between bikes and upgrades I do to some bikes but if every measurement starts from a standstill there is too much variables on each run to get believable and stable results.

@samwh4775 2 года назад

Hey what’s the mount that you used to put the phone in the windshield ?

all car manufacturers usually set the speedometer lower than the actual speed by about 3-5 mph. The speed you see in GPS is what cops would clock you at so that's your real speed. :)

@GettingthruLife 2 года назад

The Dragy device needs to be placed inside one's car with a clear upward view of the sky. Up under the front windshield or even the rear glass if it's slanted enough. The instructions are pretty non-existant on how to use it but they do specify this mounting for it to work properly. Placing the dragy down inside the car where it doesn't have a clear and unimpeded view of the sky means it's likely not going to be accurate or function properly.

@NWAuto 2 года назад

I did end up switching it to my dash just under the windshield. But I've done many runs with it on my dash and near the cup holders. The numbers I got never changed. But what you're saying does make sense. I'm sure the signal is gonna be better under the windshield

@GettingthruLife 2 года назад

@@NWAuto yes, it's connecting to satellites, many satellites, the more the better. Positioning down in the interior will limit connection. The dragy device provides all that additional info as well for the entire run so accuracy counts.

@NWAuto 2 года назад

@@GettingthruLife Yeah definitely makes sense. I stuck the mounting strip right by the head up display on my current car

@GettingthruLife 2 года назад

@@NWAuto I put mine in the rear window because in the front window there's nothing I want to risk putting adhesive on. In the rear there is some flat plastic pieces related to the child seat. Down the road the adhesive in the sun won't hurt that plastic. I do not want to afix to leather or a soft surface in my opinion. Plus plenty of glass angle to position to allow upward access. Also, I've heard from smart people that when and if you make a run and you might go under a bridge or anything that can disrupt coverage for even a very brief moment, it can skew the numbers even if small amount. Best to use in an open area with good access to sky so as many satellites as possible can communicate with dragy.
