Need good external GPS please
I have been researching HIGH end solutions like GARMAN Catalyst but for now I would like to get a SIMPLE very accurate standalone GPS that would work with my iphone and apps like RACE HERO.
Can anyone please share their experience with something that works well for you??? THANKS!!!

A lot of people will use something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003YCZINA...roduct_details and it works for them. I know we used it on our lemons car, and it was dead on to the track timer, no issues at all.
I bought one however and It did not work for me at all. My GPS readings were great one session then horrible the next. I got a catalyst instead. |

I bought a Racebox mini recently. seems solid. had issues finding GPS when I was waiting in grid, but got a connection and was flawless after I got moving.

If you have an Iphone the APEXpro is a great solution. 10Hz GPS. I have seen the racebox Mini that eimarshall talked about that claims 25hz. but i have not used it.

It would work some sessions and other sessions it was literally off by like 200 feet. Clear skies. I had it double sided tape to the top of my dash behind the steering wheel. |

this one works well. i use sticky velcro to hold it in place. make sure it's set up properly and you have tested it thoroughly with your app before you do an actual event.
https://a.co/d/9Fxe0XJ many apps also have an FAQ on what external gps units are compatible. they usually have a helpful list |

Thanks guys for the responses. I think I am going to get a RACE BOX mini and use it in conjunction with Harry's Lap Timer. The SPECS on the mini in theory should give me the most accurate timing.
I have been using RACE HERO app but THAT one is NOT compatible with the RACE BOX Mini.

I haven’t used the racebox app(it seemed kinda junky when i played with it for 30seconds), but i paid for the RaceChrono Pro and the racebox works well with that. It does regularly record at 25Hz.

Oh yeah, it's a teeny little thing... mine is zip-tied to the fog-vents by the windshield for reference.
