SkyRC Speed Meter GSM-015

With the GSM-015 from SkyRC, you can easily check the speed at which your car is going, check how high your drone or plane is flying, as well as save your route and export to Google Earth. The GSM-015 is more than just a speedometer – it is an extremely advanced and precise device enclosed in an ultra-compact housing and weighing just 45 grams. The high-precision GPS chip performs rapid position determination and provides real-time speed and ceiling information. The gadget is designed for racing model cars, drones, aircraft (attachment with Velcro straps is recommended), cycling, driving and long journeys. The user can easily read data such as speed, absolute altitude, longitude and latitude. The device records the highest speed and altitude, which can be checked immediately after the ride. Using the GPSlogger programme (downloadable  here), the user can transfer their position data to a computer and export to Google Earth/Map Bing.

Simultaneous GPS and GLONASS reception

The DGSM-015 supports GPS and GLONASS simultaneously, giving it access to a much larger number of satellites orbiting the earth. This allows much higher positioning accuracy by tracking the positions of two sets of satellites, instead of just GPS. The built-in 1M memory allows up to 18 hours of route storage at an update rate of 1 Hz. The position update frequency is adjustable from 1 Hz to 10 Hz.
