GPS Navigation

GPS-based gadgets like speedometers, trip meters, and digital inclinometers are becoming increasingly popular among drivers looking for precise measurements beyond what traditional instruments provide. Repco stocks a variety of these devices from Hummingbird, offering practical tools for both everyday drivers and off-road enthusiasts.

GPS Speedometers

GPS speedometers use satellite signals to calculate your real-time speed, often providing more accurate results than a vehicle’s built-in speedometer, which can be affected by tyre size or calibration. They are especially handy for situations where you want precise speed readings without modifying your vehicle. Many models available at Repco are easy to install and can simply be mounted on the dash or windscreen. They often come with clear digital displays and some offer additional features such as speed alarms, which alert drivers when exceeding preset limits.

GPS Trip Meters

Trip meters track the distance you’ve travelled on a specific journey and often include features like average speed, elapsed time, and sometimes fuel consumption estimates. GPS trip meters do this via satellite signals, so their readings can be more reliable over uneven or rough terrain compared to traditional odometers. This makes them quite useful for planning fuel stops or monitoring driving efficiency. At Repco, these devices range from basic units to more advanced models with multiple functions, catering to casual users and serious travellers alike.

Digital Inclinometers

Digital inclinometers measure the angle of inclination, whether you’re climbing steep hills, descending, or tackling uneven terrain. These are essential tools for offroad drivers aiming to avoid tipping or rolling risks by understanding their vehicle’s lean and pitch angles. Many models come with easy-to-read digital screens and can be mounted inside the vehicle for constant monitoring. Repco’s selection includes simple, robust units as well as more feature-rich choices with alarms or memory functions.

Choosing the Right Device

When selecting GPS speedometers, trip meters, or inclinometers, it’s important to consider the specific needs and the vehicle type. For instance, a GPS speedometer is a useful all-rounder for everyday driving, while a digital inclinometer is more suited for offroad and 4WD enthusiasts. Battery life, display readability, and ease of installation are also worth thinking about.

Overall, these GPS-driven devices from Repco provide drivers with practical, accurate data to help improve safety, efficiency, and awareness on the road or trail.
