I don't think the DL90 would bring much added value to the GEEZ system,
GPS info is just to coarse to add much accuracy or analytical depth. It
would help you get a good first guess at ending speed, if you are like
me and forget to check on course.
There is a system for GPS whereby you can get inch readings, but it
requires a local GPS transmitter on the site and customized receivers.
Probably not a paying proposition at local events, (unless your local
event is Ferrari or Porsche club,) but if Byron could be persuaded to
add it to GEEZ and set up a transmitter at National events, you could
compare anyone's track map with anyone else's. You'd get the kind of
detail where you could see where hundredths are gained and lost. How
valuable would that be to the national crazies?
