The GPS for motorsport

An incredibly powerful GPS

For precise track data acquisition, the GPS09c Open module and RaceStudio 3 software offer a leading solution. This combination delivers immediate and accurate capture of essential parameters, from lap times and speed to engine tuning data and track position. Gain instant insights from the moment you hit the circuit, enabling detailed lap analysis and performance optimization.

GPS: 25 Hz 
Constellation: 4 (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou)
Accuracy: 0.5 m CEP
Cold Start: 30 seconds TTFF
Hot Start: 1 second
Antenna: Internal, 22 mm
External Power: 5-15 V
Connection: CAN

Roof version offers an easier and clean installation on the external surface of the vehicle - no more issue with the GPS signal - avoiding problems of application inside certain cockpit.

Track database

GPS09c Open is the basis of lap time and split time calculations of all AiM systems. They come with start/finish line coordinates of more than four thousand tracks, so your dash or logger automatically recognizes the track you are racing on, and will calculate lap times and split times. What if the track is not in the database? No problem, your system will recognizes a new track and then will calculate lap times.
