Hummingbird HMSS1000BB, HMSS1000BM, HMSS1000BI Warnings And Safety Instructions

High quality GPS speedometer

for automotive applications

Hummingbird's GPS Speedometers provide a
quick to install, vehicle independent speed
readout in vehicles that are not fitted with
conventional speedometers.

Using data received from the Global
Positioning Satellite network, the GPS
Speedometer calculates three-dimensional
ground speed and displays it on a clear to
read, digital display.

This high technology solution eradicates the
dependency on vehicle specific parameters,
thereby reducing installation time and
eradicating the need for periodic calibration.
