There are displays, also antennas. Combined, they're pretty expensive.
There are free GPS apps for your phone.
A good quality liquid filled Bourdon Tube type speedo will be w/in 1-2 MPH of
the GPS speed at a significant savings.
The choice is yours.
Thanks where do I get the bourbon tube
Friend just bought a gps speedo $200 supposed to be all inclusive but not yet installedu
Brand is sunset
Gaffrig Performance still manufactures their own liquid filled speedometers.
http://gaffrigperformance.com/137-liquid-filled-speedos . Gaffrig supplies these
gauges in various diameters, maximum speeds, and finishes.
I guess more and more of the low cost gauge builders are supplying lower cost
GPS speedos. After searching a few, I noticed many are less than 60 MPH.
Don't forget about the free phone app!
I would just install an app on your iphone. They are as accurate as my dashmount Livorsi and very inexpensive these days.
I have the app guess I don't care about speed unless testing. Thanks guys.
Two speeds on water 1) Canal speed 2) WOTQuote:

I agree that a GPS Speedo is a waist of money these days. A GPS app on a cell is wait I've used. My stock VDO speedo reads 2-3mph fast at WOT but is only about 1mph fast at cruise speed (3200rpm).Quote:
