SinoTrack Digital GPS Speedometer Universal Heads Up Display for Car 5.5 inch Large LCD Display HUD with MPH Speed Fatigued Driving Alert Overspeed Alarm Trip Meter for All Vehicle

(Additional updated information at the end of the review concerning customizing the display and the acceleration timer) When I discovered this device, I was just looking for something that would tell me how far I've driven on any particular trip, and then automatically reset to zero for the next trip. My car odometer can be programmed for that, but I usually keep it displayed to miles driven since my last refueling, so I wanted a separate display for the trip mileage. Not only can this device do that, but it does so much more! There are eight main functions: vehicle speed, compass heading in degrees, trip distance, trip time, time of day clock, elevation, acceleration timing, and number of GPS satellites that are being received. There is more flexibility in displaying this information than implied in the photos in the product's description! The left digital display can show either speed or compass heading, while the right display can show any of the other six functions (trip distance, trip time, etc.). The left and right displays are set independently, so there are a possible 12 combinations of what data is displayed. What's more, unlike what is implied in the photos, the display graphics and center compass gauge can be displayed with any combination of displayed data, not just with certain combinations. Also, it can be easily set to either English or metric units, and all settings are memorized, even when disconnected from power. There is also a speed alarm, but I have not tested it out yet. I also have not tested out the acceleration timer. If you find that the speed and distance readings do not match what your car's factory gauges read, then there is a way to calibrate that, as well. You may still have a slight error, but it's not much -- maybe about 1% or so. On a more specific point, I could have hardly asked for a better design for something like this for my car. I have a 2015 Honda Civic LX (9th generation Civic), and this device almost looks like it was designed for my car! Like the digital gauges on my dashboard, this device has white numbers with blue graphics -- albeit a different shade of blue. The overall shape of the display even mimics the shape of my car's instrument cluster! I believe the Si version of the 9th gen Civic has red graphics, so it would not be as good a match, aesthetically, but the functions would still work. There is supposed to be a way to turn off the graphics, but I have not found out how to do that, and I don't see it in the manual. It's no big deal for me, because I like the graphics, but some people might want to switch them off. Maybe someone here can weigh in on how this is done? Beyond that, this device is very easy to use -- just power it up through the USB port on the back of it. It gets all of its data through GPS satellite signals, so there is no need to hook anything to the OBD-2 port or anything else. All compass functions are also calculated based on GPS signals, so they are not affected by normal magnetic fields in the car -- but you do have to be moving for it to calculate a direction. It won't just tell you which way you're facing in a stationary vehicle when you power it up. And on my unit, I find it quickly locks on to enough satellites to work. However, the first time you use it, it may take a few minutes to locate the satellites, and in my experience, this is normal for most GPS-based devices. I'm using a USB power adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter/power point. However, keep in mind that if you use a cigarette lighter adapter, some cars supply constant power to the cigarette lighter/power point, even when the car is switched off, so that this device would stay powered up when the car is off, unless you unplug it. It is designed to turn on and off based on whether it is getting power to its USB port, so there is no on/off switch on the device. Some people have reported that their unit broke down quickly. I have only been using mine for a few days, so I cannot yet comment on that. As long as it remains reliable, I feel this is a solid 5-star product! NEW INFORMATION -- Okay, here's the additional information that I have learned about this device. First of all, I figured out how to turn the decorative graphics on and off, and like so much else with this product, there are actually more options than expected. First of all, selecting these options is so easy that I'm almost embarrassed that I didn't figure this out before. All you have to do is just tap in the 3-way switch on the top of the unit. Remember, this switch can toggle left, toggle right, or push in. If you push it in and hold it, you enter the set-up mode. But if you simply push/tap it in briefly (from the regular usage mode, not the set-up mode), you step through various display configurations with each tap of the button. You can select from numerous combinations of having the outer-edge decorative graphics on or off, having the center graphic compass on or off, and even being able to turn on or off the left or right side digital displays, in case you only need to see one element of data and don't want a cluttered display. Very easy, and very versatile. The second thing I want to review is the acceleration timer, which I have now tested. It more or less works as you'd expect -- if you select this function when you're at a stop, it shows zero seconds, and then when you start moving, it starts timing. The only thing a little bit disappointing here is that, even if you have it set to display English units (mph, instead of km/h), it still times to a speed of 100 km/h, and not 60 mph, before it stops the clock and gives you a 0-to-100 km/h reading. I could determine this because, when in English units, it stops timing at 62 mph, not 60, and 100 km/h is roughly 62 mph. Keep in mind that this function will be approximate, anyway, because if it is GPS based, then there may be an error based on how often the unit reads the GPS satellites. For example, let's say that it reads the satellites 2 times a second (and that is just a guess). It knows that you're not moving when it takes two or more readings in a row that show you at the same position. But now, once you start moving, when it takes the next reading, it will see that you have moved and start the timer. However, if it is taking a reading every half a second, then it has no way of knowing exactly when you hit the gas during the half second between the time it saw you standing still and the time that it now sees you at a new position, so there could be an error of up to half a second -- again, assuming that it takes readings every half second. Even if it takes readings more frequently, there could still be a small error. The only way around this would be if it has an accelerometer built in that could sense the car moving without having to take a GPS reading, but I have not read that this device is equipped with an accelerometer. To me, this is no big deal. Just think of the acceleration timer as a neat feature to get approximate acceleration times at a test track, and not as a serious performance timer. This in no way detracts from all of the other cool features of this device.

My final choice among all four HUD i used. I decided to take some time to write this review, as i am quite impressed with it. PRO: rich functionalities, very legible in daytime and night as well, good design that it shades the led from sun light from most directions. Shows both time and speed at the same time. Accurate read out open box, Quick satellite search and it shows the number it finds, no long wait. Transferrable to any of my cars easily. CON: cannot think of a reasonable one. Other HUDs i had usually have one or two things i don’t like，mostly not clear enough under strong sunlight. Finally i like to praise the product support. I first got a defect one, i reported it and soon got response. After some testing to make sure it could not be fixed by reset, i received a replacement with no cost. I tested the new one and like it very much. I believe this is a serious Amazon seller, that they take pride in their product. Thinking to buy another one seriously to replace my other HUDs. Thanks.

Fairly accurate , shows accurate time once locked with the satellite which takes just a few seconds. However number of issue I came across which doesn't render the device useless but could improve functionality. The pros : Fair pricing , compact size designed to sit on the dash yet don't obscure your view from the road. 5v usb powered means less power consumption and can be hooked to any available USB outlet or from the fuse box through a dc-dc converter. Not so hard to operate even with a single wave button. Shows real-time speed, acceleration, trip distance, and trip duration. Alarm can be set for max speed, and driving duration . Built in light sensor to govern the panel britgness . Very useful . The cons : The gps speed is shown on the left side of the panel , a compass or heading on the middle and time or trip info on the right. This is not a good design, the compass heading is basically in accurate and not really useful in real time. The primary function of the unit is gps speedometer yet it is placed on the left side where the digits are readable but a bit small so need pretty much to look at to see what speed you are going. If the gps speed reading was set in the middle with bigger digit size, that would be a very practical solution. * The gps speedo meter reading in this unit is 1mile faster in general . * The speed refresh rate is poor meaning when the car is accelerating or slowing down ,the speedometer lags to show the variation of speed and at least 1 seconds slow of real time speed. * all the trip records , max speed , etc get reset once vehicle is turned off. Verdict : if you need a cheap but functional gps speedo meter, it is a decent option even with some little flaws and is still a good choice for your cars gadget addition . Overall I'm not returning the unit and happy with it.

I installed this for my significant other with a lead foot. It was easy to program and install, the speedometer is highly accurate, the beeping sound is loud and effective, and the date/time stays consistent between rides. I would highly recommend this.

I bought this because my new Jeep Gladiator does not have a clock, and I need a clock. I wanted one that lights up at night, so I didn't want one that relies on its own battery and needs to be touched in order to light up for a few seconds in the dark. This product was just what I needed. It looks great. It sits on the dash and looks like an integral part of the Jeep. It powers up with the Jeep, and powers down when I turn off the Jeep. I didn't need the speedometer feature, so I've never cared that it's off by a good strong 10%. When I'm going 60, it says I'm going 67. The instructions that came in the box told me that if the speedometer is not accurate, I can reset it by driving 100 MPH, and while driving 100 MPH I should fiddle with the little button/wheel on the top of it to reset the speedometer to 100 MPH. Uh. I'm NEVER planning to drive 100 MPH in the thick traffic, and police monitored city I live in. And even if I were to drive 100 MPH on my freeways I would not be willing to take my hands off the wheel and eyes off the road to play with this little wheel thing trying to get the speed to synch up. No problem. I bought it for the clock. Problem: The clock is accurate for half the year. Daylight Savings Time ended more than a week ago, and the GPS clock won't adjust. It's an hour off. There does not appear to be any way to manually adjust the time. It's all GPS. It's a shame, this clock has been exactly what I wanted. It looks amazing on the dash, it's bright and can be seen day and night. It was affordable, and for half the year, it's accurate. I tried figuring out how to contact customer support, but wasn't able to find any website or email address to do so. I might need to buy a winter clock, so I can change clocks twice a year.

I bought this to measure speed and distance traveled in my golf cart. I wanted to be able to measure distance traveled to know when it was time to recharge the battery, which happens every 4 or 5 days. Unfortunately, when I turn off the ignition key, power is removed from the accessories. Once power is removed from this unit, the accumulated trip mileage is reset to 0. I can see how far I traveled today, but can't accumulate several days mileage. That makes this unit unfit for one of the primary purposes I bought it for.

My speedometer quit working in my 1995 Ford F150. I calibrated the new speedometer in my 2005 Ford Freestyle. I adjusted 107 to 102. It was perfect. Just for fun I put it in my 2000 Lincoln Navigator and had to recalibrate to 104. It was perfect. I am not sure why there is a difference in the calibration between the two vehicles. I put the speedometer in the same position on the dash in both vehicles. I found that the best speed to set the calibration from is 55 mph. That is where I found the biggest difference in calibration. Less than 45 mph isn't affected much by the calibration. When I adjusted the calibration at 55 mph it held good up to 70 mph. I left it set to 104 and I am using it in the F150. I am completely satisfied with the speedometer and I feel comfortable I am within +/- 2 mph at 65 mph and close to exact at less than 45 mph. This was my only option since the vehicle is so old I could not find a replacement any place. For the price I couldn't beat it. I highly recommend this speedometer. Update 10-13-25. The seller wrote me back and said that the difference in the vehicle speedometers is normal from car to car. This is because manufacturers calibrate the vehicle speedometer a little lower than the actual speed to compensate for tire wear and other factors. The important fact is that I was able to calibrate the speedometer exactly to each vehicle.

This item was easy to calibrate using my car as the test bed. The unit is incredibly accurate once set. There are plenty of satellites in my area so the unit can get locked in in about 1-3 minutes. If you start up and take off, it does not seem to be able to do the satellite lock until you are sitting still for awhile, like at a stoplight. The screen is very easy to read day or night and it has a great anti-glare finish. The only remaining question for me is: how long will it last? *08/2024 update* Had this unit on two motorcycles over 18 months. The only problem I have run into is vibrations caused the original power wire to fail. The replacement power cable is from a Samsung phone charger, but it has a tendency to pull out because of the vibrations. Otherwise this device has been awesome! *07/2025 update This unit absolutely rocks! Never had a lick of problems after using hot-glue to secure power cable to back of the housing. Never failed me once... until... my rain-cover blew off during an overnight rain storm and the unit got wet and died. Unit was used over 3 years and ~ 7,000 miles. RIP, old SinoTrack. Buying a new one today.

Works excellent, even in a boat. Nice an bright so you can see in the sun. Using it in the boat and it is very accurate. I have a speedometer in the boat but does not show slow speeds for trolling (fishing) under 10 miles per hour and this unit does. Just make sure you use a 5V USB output from your lighter socket as noted in the instructions. Like that it has the option for KL/H or Miles per hour and that it has distance or time travelled and the compass is handy as well. Highly recommended and really surprised they have not promoted for use in a boat.

Fantastic gps speedometer. Exceeded my expectations. Takes a while to figure out how to set it up as the instructions can be confusing. Wish there was a video instructional video linked on the set up guide manual. I had stunmbled upon a YouTube video of another user which helped me figure this out. But once it's all set up it's truly fantastic. The only reason I don't give this a five star is becuase I wish it had more colours. The whole thing is blue with white letters. I would highly recommend and I would say it's worth the price

Very happy with it. Have used it for a few months. Definitely would recommend.
