"I find they also take a couple of seconds to show changes in speed.
When braking or accelerating I could notice the difference"
Thanks for the feedback everyone. Regarding the delay in speed change display, is it easy to live with, or do you find it frustrating, for instance comming of a freeway from 110 to 70 to 60kph, is it noticeable, more importantly is the lag significant enough so you can misjudge the speed and get booked ?

I use an Athlon gps-rw it has no lag at all, speeding up or braking.
It usually picks up atleast 6 satellites.

Gday Pills,
There was a person on here that got a full set of the speed hut gauges and posted a pic. They look great and i am currently tossing up between speedhut or classic instruments.
If you do some searching you might be able to find the post with pics. It was quite a few years ago i believe.
Let us know how you go with them if you decide to buy.
Cheers.

You can live with it because you'll never know unless you have something else to notice it against. On braking you'll err on the side of caution because you'll think you're going faster than you are.
On acceleration it will show under for a couple of seconds until it catches up, so that's the time to be careful! |

I agree. Unless you are doing top speed runs, you probably won't notice it much. |
