I see your message is a year old. May I ask if you are still using it or upgraded and if so to which one? Thanks in advance. 👍😊

@@JohnRobinsonRC Yup goes with me in my go bag every speed run. I use the Power Hobby GPS more these days but it's my trusty fallback. And I've needed to use it as a fallback at least 2-3 times .

How did you get the software to work im on Win Vista

That's quite the arsenal of extreme speed cars RCN. Pretty awesome. -Brett

AMain Hobbies Brett.. I have a question.... in relation to a GARMIN fore runner 401 or any of those older and newer GARMINS that Rc car guys all over youtube are typically using for their speed runs on their cars .... how do the Sky RC GSM-010 and GSM-015 gps speed meters compare.....????? Specifically the gsm-015 ?????..... is it as good as a garmin and on par with one ?...... is the sky Rc gps really accurate in general ?.... I always watch this channel and I wanted to know for sure. I’ve spent 60-70 dollars on each one and I sold two because I crashed with them on my cars. Like an idiot I would use rubber bands to keep them tied to my cars and it didn’t work for too long. I love the sky Rc speed meters and they seem 100% accurate and on point but I really needed to get your extra perspective outside of this video once again. I have a tech channel here on KZfaq and this is it. I do product unboxings and reviews and I actually reviewed and unboxed both models. I sold them since and now I’m on my third brand new one which I just ordered for 69 dollars off of amazon Brand new. I ordered the gsm-015 model since I didn’t notice the 010 as much anymore.

Yeah, that would be cool. Or if you take a tour through a new city. -Brett

Haha. Good way to see if your r/c car is playing around behind your back. -Brett

If you like using the app on your smartphone, the 020 is the way to go. We have it here: www.amainhobbies.com/skyrc-gnss-performance-analyzer-bluetooth-gps-speed-meter-data-logger-sky-500023/p1165087 -Brett

Yeah, you should be able to. -Brett

No, it's not waterproof but that would be cool if it was! I'm not familiar with using a GoPro to record GPS data or speed, sorry. But a big difference between the two devices is the price. -Brett

AMain Hobbies thanks Brett

The problem is Vista. Vista was garbage from the start. That's why it was replaced with Win7.

Yes, you could I suppose. But what happens if you crash, or your phone falls off at 50MPH? Are you ok with damaging, or ruining your phone? Seems really risky Troy. -Brett

In regards to a GPS with built-in transmitter, I'm in complete agreement with you. Not only 'should' it be simple to include this...it IS simple to include. It could be Bluetooth, or even its own built-in WiFi. If you look at almost any dashcam currently available without a built-in display, they ALL have their own built-in "WiFi hotspot", which you connect to with your cell phone, through the manufacturer's app. This is what allows one to view live video, to download recorded videos, and (in most higher-end models) to change settings. There is absolutely no reason why this couldn't be added to the SkyRC GPS, or similar devices. Sure, it would add a few dollars to the price, but, considering the added functionality, I don't think anyone would mind said higher price. As for the "looking down at your speed" comment, I'm not saying I agree, but I'm also not disagreeing. When doing a speed-run (not that I do speed runs...I race on an indoor clay track), there are typically two people involved (based on all the speed-run videos I've watched) - one controlling the vehicle, and the other holding the speed gun. Using a app/phone-connected GPS would be no different - one would be controlling the vehicle, while the other holds the camera filming the run, as well as the phone/tablet running the connected app. Taking that one step further, one could even build a combination camera-phone dolly that could place the phone within the view of the camera (say, in the lower right, or left, corner), so that the person filming only had to hold one 'object', as said 'object' would have both devices. So, the real question isn't "if" any GPS tracker manufacturers are going to produce a GPS tracker with app-connected functionality, but "when". Yes, it could be several years, or just a few months. Again, considering the fairly minimal additional cost, I can't understand why none have released such a unit so far. Here's to hoping one comes sooner, rather than later.

Hmm not sure. I just tried it and it worked for me. Try this link, go to the bottom'ish of the page and select the Client file for PC or MAC: www.skyrc.com/Accessory/gpsgsm015 -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies That is the link that I have been trying. I have put a couple of emails directly to Skyrc about it. Let's hope they have some kind of answer. Thx.

@@MrKen-sj5qi What happens then you go to the page, and click on the download link? The download link is set to automatically download once you click on it. Does your Download folder have anything in it? -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies It will download, but I cannot open it. It keeps going on with the Setup Wizard. "Push Finish" it keeps telling me. I'm totally lost and frustrated.😷😖

Had a 'computer literate' friend help me with this, and all seems to be working as it should. Thanks for the follow up.😷

What are the differences between the 010 and 015 we have? -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies I saw a video of both in use, the new model updates faster, so it may be more accurate, probably newer updated hardware since its got its own new app. Have u tried the new one with the app?

The 015? That's what we used in this video and we used the software on Win10 and it worked ok without issue. If there is a iOS or Android app, we have not tried that. -Brett

Yeah software program for the 010 version is rubbish i've been on to skyrc and all they keep asking me to do is try reloading and now want a video of me downloading and installing, IT WILL MAKE NO DIFFERENCE, IT STILL WON'T WORK, I have asked for a hard copy on disc to eliminate any download erors but they want to charge me $30 for the priviledge for something that should work but doesn't

Not sure. The display does work pretty well once you get close enough. -Brett

Will the GPS antenna work through an airplane? -Brett

Maybe if you are at the window seat..👍🏻

Good tip. I'll keep on eye on that. Have you replaced the battery with anything else? -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies Not. Not yet changed. But I will definitely change it. On the external battery. Need to pick a size.

What will it cost to buy a new phone after it goes flying down the street in a speed run? Not a good idea. -Brett

Could be. -Brett

Cam i do a speef run off my cell phone with speed ap on my phone?

until i get 1

I carelessly installed the tires in a rush because their direction does not serve towards demonstrating the use of a GPS Speed Meter. The truck simply required tires installed to roll on the ground. This video is like a meal I have spent much time to prepare, cook, and present for you to eat - please do not judge it by focusing on the napkin. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies Nice!! 😂
