Are GPS Speedo allowed by QLDTAC ?

Are they allowed in other States ?

Do they work in tunnels ?

From what I have read they dont work in tunnels and pretty sure they would be a bit advanced for our TAC :D :D :D :D :D

i have one in one of my cars.....bought from speedhut in america..

the speedo has indicator lights and ign light built into it and highbeam....when you start your car it takes a moment to switch on ,
without having to set it to the size of your wheels or anything else it is spot on accurate......

when entering a tunnel it is funny to see the needle just drop down to zero and as soon as you exit it is back up to speed again,
here in perth we only have one tunnel so it is not a problem...besides you can only go as fast as the traffic around you :D

i plan on fitting my other cars with a gps
cheers joe

if you do nothing then nothing happens

I have a GPS speedo fitted in my rod. It was passed by the engineer and my rod is now registered on Vic M plates.
There a number of rods in our club with this type of speedo. My experience has been generally if you lose phone signal, you lose speedo signal.
