Hope this is the correct section in which to post this...
As title please. I'm not a serious trackdayer, but partake when I can, would be nice to record extra info. And it would be great if I could make better use of my phones' capabilities (Android, Samsung Galaxy S3), by recording data to overlay onto my Gopro footage.
After a bit of searching, came across this thread - http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=161817
So, willing to take a punt on Trackmaster for a few quid...but want to be a bit more certain before splashing out on a bluetooth GPS receiver. I'm not very techy (so please keep any responses as layman as possible), but its seems that this is the way to go - heat protective layer in windscreen causes issues, and a dedicated receiver would provide faster responses than my phones' in-built receiver (correct?)
Any thoughts? Do these kind of receivers work ok if attached at the bottom of the windscreen, in the rectangular section left for toll passes? What about battery life, re-charging, etc? Looking for those with experience of such a set-up.
Also, I've never had or used sat-nav - would want this set-up to function for that as well.
Thanks in advance
