GPS Speedo...
« on: August 20, 2014 - 02:39:04 PM »
Hi Guys,
I been reading about SpeedHut gauges.
They offer a GPS speedo that takes it's input from a satellite  and a gas gauge that is totally programmable so you can use your oem sender.
I was wondering if anyone has used these?

Thanks,
Mickm72

I've been considering these too.With my GM transmission and Mopar speedo I'm out about 10MPH.

 I emailed them asking if they could match the stock gauges, font, and art work. They replied sure no problem custom work is $10 extra per gauge. Good deal I thought!  :2thumbs:  I have the standard gauges in a 70 Challenger. I know I'm one of the few that prefer them over the rally gauges...  :-[

Bart how do you go about "calibrating" the fuel gauge? :dunno:

well,  actually... that`s a pretty complicated operation.
you will need an empty tank.  press button when needle says empty.  fill tank. press button when needle says full.     :bigsmile:

Post pictures when you get them and will you be documenting the install? What gauges did you buy? I'm really interested in the dual gps speedo/tach gauge.

I have been wanting to pull the trigger on these for my 73 and I also have the standard dash  :thumbsup:

So, these GPS gauges can give you your speed via satellite..  Hmmmm...   Does that mean they can also record that data and send you a speeding ticket after the fact?  Hmmmm.....   :burnout:    :bigsmile:

I never speed though?  :-[ :lol2:   I don't think they know what vehicle it's installed in, now the gps on our cell phones, Tom Tom etc...... that might be a different story?  :dunno:
