VBOX LapTimer is a 10Hz GPS data logger and OLED display in one measuring in “real-time” the speed, lap count, maximum speed, lap times or predictive laptimes (delta time). Data is calculated at all times even when its not displayed and saved on an SD card for your own future examination.

The VBOX LapTimer is used for many applications where “real-time” measurements are desired. Applications include fuel economy testing, durability testing, tyre testing and real world verification.
