Correct.......no GPS ...just accelerometers.
Accurate to within 2%.....straight out of the box .....or well within 1%.....when calibrated.

Nov 2009 at 16:40 Picked up one of those dirt cheap on Ebay a while ago. I think I found some documentation for it trawling the web - if you're in need of any? Pretty self-explanatory bit of kit though. Kevin
