Tomtom Software?

[Ichy]

Is there any software you can install on a Tomtom that allows you to use it as a speedo? I realise it shows your speed in the bottom right but I want BIG numbers. 0-60 or 1/4 mile timer would be good.

It would be nice if you could record your route and download it to google maps or similar.

It an in car tomtom, maybe a v4?

Anyway I found a program called tripmaster that does most of what I want. Definately works as a speedo and records trips. I'll give it a go later.

Actually it does, just find 'Trip statistics' (on main menu page 3 of the TTR v1)[/quote]

Yep mine does all stats ie top and average speed miles covered ect

Do you really trust those figures though??

If you consider that its pretty much industry standard to have a physical acracy deficit of +/= 5meters (before considering other uncontrollable acracy issues, such as weather, clouds, noise, buildings, landscape etc which could add up to 30meters inaccuracy)

Here is the math:

--------------------------------------------------------
60mph =96.56kph

60mph over 60 second = 1609 meters per min (mpm)

60mph over 1 second = 26.82 meters per second (mps)
--------------------------------------------------------

So you take your 26.82 mps add 5 meters of unit over read = 31.82 mps

31.82 mps converts to 71.81mph when your are actually doing 60mph

You take your 26.82 mps, minus 5 meters of accuracy = 21.82mps

Gives you a reading speed of 48.81 mph @ 60mph of actual speed


Without considering unconrolable natural factors, gps are about 12% inaccurate at calculating speed, which is pretty much as inacurate as your speedo anyway.
