Description

The role of external GPS in karting
Precision is crucial in competitive karting – and external GPS devices offer a clear advantage over conventional smartphone GPS.

While every tenth of a second counts in karting, external GPS devices provide significantly greater accuracy: positioning data with up to 10 cm accuracy and timing accuracy of ±1/100 of a second. This level of detail is essential for analyzing racing lines, lap times, and telemetry data.

With its 25 Hz sampling rate, the RaceBox Mini significantly outperforms the typical 1 Hz GPS of a smartphone – for smooth, high-precision data acquisition.
The external GPS adapter ensures a stable mount and optimal signal quality on the route.

concept
The external GPS adapter is designed to compensate for the steering angle, keeping the GPS device as horizontal as possible.
This positioning is crucial for precise measurements of acceleration, cornering speed, braking points and steering inputs.

The adapter is designed for maximum stability in high-performance karting and holds the GPS device securely in position even under extreme conditions.

For additional flexibility, other GPS modules – such as those from Garmin or other manufacturers – can also be attached using Velcro or cable ties.
