Reviews?

Looks kinda neat and maybe a poor man's DA system.

I have it. But, i ended up getting a da system. So, I've never used it.

I've used it for about 6 events. Great as a lap timer. I have not had the time to analyze sector times with video data. I am sure that would glean valuable info. I am a bit suspect of the resolution particularly with fore-aft and lateral acceperation. The price can't be beat even if for a lap timer only. I feel a traqmate is definitely more valuable but 100x more, not sure unless you really know how to interpret data. My 2 cents.

Trackmaster works well as a lap timer. Most phones only have a 1HZ GPS receiver, so as a data analysis tool, it isn't that great. However, you can get external GPS units that run at 5HZ or 10HZ that work with it. That makes it more useful as an analysis tool. Either way, if you're just interested in lap and segment times, it works well and the price can't really be beat.
