The Lowrance MT3000 has the average speed, max speed, voltage, trip time, trip distance, altitude, local time and about 10 other useful features. If you are tight for space we have the globalmap 2400 about the same size as the old 1600. The main reason for the new GPS systems is because they hold 10 10,000 point savable plot trails verses 2 3,000 point trails on the 1600. In the past most plot trails for races were made with between 4 and 10 dots per mile which showed you where you were going, but lacked the detail to know exactly what is in front of you. The new mt3000 and 2400 have much more detail, In fact I just finished prerunning the Baja 500 and have a plot trail of over 16,000 points with a 50 dot per mile rate so you will know exactly what is in front of you. I also added 200+ danger icons with most of the gotchas and tricky spots on the course. This unit is like having scrolling rally notes and when used properly will up your average speed. I have this plot trail available for download email me if you need it. Note to all 3000 GPS users check your software version of your unit under system setup, 2.2 is the most current and will fix any average speed problems you were having along with adding a volt meter. You will need to bring your unit by or see me at a race to have it upgraded. I put a special chip in your card slot and it auto updates your unit. Remember the GPS downloads are for help in the race only DO NOT DRIVE WHAT YOU CANNOT SEE OR YOU COULD HURT SOMEONE. Good luck at the 500. Terrie thanks for the order your unit shipped out today to Lothringer.
