Dakota Digital Releases GPS-50-2 Signal Expansion Module

Dakota Digital‘s innovations keep right on coming with the new GPS-50-2 signal expansion module. Capable of working with Dakota’s own instruments as well as several other aftermarket options, this device is ready to keep you on track even in adverse locations like tunnels, mountain ranges, and other so-called “dead zones.”

Official Release:

Following the tremendous success of the original GPS-50-1, the goal was to design a new product which was smaller, had more functionality, was more flexible, but at the same price as the earlier model.

The GPS-50-2 was completely designed and manufactured in the USA, specifically made for the custom automotive market and the unique challenges which exist. Highly advanced electronics and software design allow the GPS-50-2 to work unlike anything else; internal accelerometers and predictive software compensate for times when GPS inherently struggles: overpasses, mountains, tunnels, heavy tree cover, large buildings, passing large vehicles, etc. Unique electronic architecture provides for negligible current usage when off, yet lightning fast start-up and signal acquisition. The GPS-50-2 features an integrated omni-direction antenna, or has the option for an external antenna for the widest range of installation flexibility. In fact, the GPS-50-2 does such a tremendous job of rendering the correct speed information, it can be used to feed an aftermarket cruise control system; while not an easy task for a GPS speed sensor, the GPS-50-2 was intelligently created to handle this from the beginning.

When used in conjunction with a Dakota Digital VFD3 or VHX Instrument system, a single data cable adds accurate Speed information, Compass heading, Altimeter data, and Clock syncing, all with fully automatic calibration; no DIP switches, no guessing!

Outside air temperature can easily be added with an optional sensor as well.

The GPS-50-2 is also fully compatible with other electronic speedometers on the market. Offering a user-selectable output of 4k, 8k, 16k PPM signals and a selectable signal type of a Sine Wave or Square Wave, the flexibility is endless. The GPS-50-2 is also capable of supplying a high frequency signal to an ECM to ease some of those unique transmission swap situations!

The GPS-50-2 measures in at an easy-to-hide size of 4x2x1”, is completely covered by a two-year warranty.
