No reply so far, will be surprised if I get any..

I was looking for options on a budget, will this lower version of Dual “XGPS150A” work with HLT?

Lately I have the tendency to reply to my own posts… :roll:

The 150 is only 1Hz so shouldn’t worth the bother

The 150 is quite old now. In case you can get your hands on one, they are fine. They can be switched between 1 and 5 Hz rates using alternative firmware.

Awesome, thank you for the heads-up Harry!

Located one unit on second hand market (on my way now) for cheap. Hope this will make a substantial improvement from the 1Hz iPhone internal.

Got the tiny unit today and did some indoors testing, after firmware update and setting using the app it synchronizes now with HLT on 5Hz! So looking forward for the next Trackday. On the previous there was big difference around 3-5kph on the straights with the iPhone internal.

Thanks!
