Please send current thoughts about an Nautic Logic upgrade.

I prefer an internal GPS receiver. Nautic Logic claims that the internal and external receivers have the same excellent reception. Do you agree?
I've had great success with NauticLogic! I tied their gps speedo/receiver into a Perfect Pass system to avoid adding a paddle wheel and the hole it would require. A great system. Since then I've put a set of their GPS speedos in my FlightCraft to replace the AirGuides—I'm quite happy with both systems.

Yes, let's just forget about all the new members who have come on

Happy to talk about the speedo all you want, but it is too late to influence the design considerations as that was set in stone many years ago. Geez you need some reading comprehension help sometimes Pete!

I'm glad to hear your model T is still running well Yup, design considerations never come to play after development since they are "set in stone".

If Henry Ford stopped in and was soliciting feedback on how to improve his prototype before putting it into production, then I'd say you missed the boat Pete.

You're not going to re-engineer this GPS conversion kit at this point in order to gain 3mph worth of travel. That feedback was already presented, and the design was finalized in 2013.

There are other options to work around this limitation that I mentioned. Your argumentativeness is not exactly helpful.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, I've been given the chance to buy a never-used 2010 Precision Star GPS Speedometer rather than undertake a conversion. Perfect Pass says that the original 2010 speedometers updated 1 time per second, (1 Hz), the new ones have a 5 Hz GPS, and the 2010 model should work well, just has a slower refresh speed when accelerating. Is this a model T or last year's model? Do you think there will be a meaningful difference?
