I must point out that Dynolicous app and the old G-Tech/Pro are two quite different things.
The old G-Tech/Pro was using factory calibrated and temperature compensated accelerometers for it's measurements,
while Dynolicous uses phone-grade accelerometers.
As you probably know, before using app you need to calibrate iPhone's sensors by hand.
That's no way close to factory six-point calibration with robots we're using,
but sometimes you can get lucky and make a fairly good calibration.
The G-Tech used a setup to compensate for vehicle's "nose-up" when accelerating on start.
You had to find out this parameter value by trying different setups or to use a procedure described in our manual.
I guess most of users preferred to tweak the value themselves, by "feel".
So this setup was introduced to improve G-Tech accuracy and it worked fantastic wen set correctly,
but as with any setup you could set it wrong and actually get less accurate results.
The new Fanatic Precision Series G-Tech uses a custom GPS module instead of accelereometes.
Our GPS module has a high update rate of 10Hz and a custom firmware developed for us by GPS manufacturer.
That firmware is specially tailored to meet our needs for performance measurements. It takes into account the
high acceleration rates at the race start and vehicle dynamics during the race. We are also using a much bigger
GPS antenna than any phone on the market, which means it won't lose GPS signal while performing a run.
For all those reasons above, the new G-Tech Fanatic has a great accuracy without any setup needed.
Best regards from G-Tech engineer.
