Traqmate GPS Data Acquisition Kits

In the modern era, if you aren't using data acquisition, you are significantly slowing your learning potential when you go to the track. Traqmate is our absolute favorite system because the data it provides is good quality, and even if you aren't a computer person, if you are reading this text on your screen by yourself then you are probably capable of getting value from a Traqmate. It is that incredibly easy - put the software on your laptop, plug the system in via USB cable, and you are making your laptimes faster in less than 10 minutes of work. Perfect for those of us who have to change tires, go to classroom sessions, talk to people, and drive also.

We strongly recommend the Complete system with display. The more instantaneous the feedback on your driving is, the faster you can improve. Without the use of a beacon, this display will show you every laptime as you click past Start/Finish so you know if you should continue or try a different approach. Additionally, our new favorite feature is Qualifying mode which we use every time on track - this display shows you, as you are driving your lap, if you are doing it better or worse than your fastest lap any time you look at it, anywhere on the track. Instant gratification!

Traqmate GPS Data Acquisition Systems are designed for pros or track day enthusiasts who want to record their day, play it back with optional video integration, and analyze their performance to get the most out of their car and themselves. The Traqmate is a vehicle data acquisition device that uses a high-speed GPS receiver and high resolution accelerometers to track and record the speed of a vehicle, its absolute location, and forces acting on the vehicle.
