Dytter with GPS ?

[GuyMan20 0]

is there any such thing?
a dytter which records GPS data like vertical speed and the course of the jump?
if so, which one is recommended?

thanks

There are no dytters with GPS. However you can get GPS logger, which is about the size of a dytter, but does not have audible tones.

Some of the preferred loggers are Wintec WBT-201, QStarz BT-1000, Garmin Foretrex.

It's flare not flair, brakes not breaks, bridle not bridal, "could NOT care less" not "could care less".

I don't know if the GPS is accurate enough for calculating altitude for skydiving since its an approximate. The one I use in flight is pretty accurate but it may be too slow with freefall speeds.

You live more in the few minutes of skydiving than many people live in their lifetime

There are GPS devices with barometric altimeter.

Its used with Paralog for recording skydives

To see the interface with Google Earth go here http://krheinwald.jumplog.net/ and check out jump number 2674 then click on "Track 2674". You must have Google Earth installed on your computer.

Klaus has a bunch more jumps with Google Earth tracks just go have a look.
