I have been using a Speedhut GPS speedo in my Cobra for about 2 yrs now and am happy with it - only loses the signal occasionally for a few seconds but I think that has something to do with the location of the GPS aerial on the Front Roll bar brace just below the dashboard. It might also have something to do with the fact that I live in a Naval town with all sorts of electronic signals flying around???

Am planning to move the aerial higher up the brace when in the mood.

The one down side is that I have a battery cut-off switch so I lose power to it when parked, which means it takes a minute or so to initiate instead of almost instantaneous initiation if power is maintained to the unit.
