  1. When using a TraQr standalone without a Pocket PC, in-car lap timing and data displays are not available
  2. Autocrossers benefit greatly from using a Pocket PC to review data quickly between runs, but the TraQr is normally used standalone without a Pocket PC
  3. Rally racing benefits from the vertical accelerometer and optional gyros available in the MQ200
  4. MQ200 capabilities are usually overkill for autocross and HPDE-style instruction and magazine testing; MQGPS is much easier to move from car to car
  5. MQGPS basic performance measures only (Lateral G, slalom/apex speed); shock tuning may require MQ200-MAX depending on desired sample rate
  6. The MQ200 is more complicated to mount on a motorcycle or kart
  7. MQGPS-TraQr saves weight by not requiring a Pocket PC

Many MaxQData systems use Pocket PCs or compatible Smartphones for lap time display, real-time data, telemetry, and analysis.  The new MQGPS-TraQr operates standalone without any display device for greatest simplicity.

Use our innovative QView™ track map plotting mode to instantly understand driving technique at a glance:

- Red = braking, Blue = accelerating, darker = heavier braking/acceleration
- Width of "banking" is lateral acceleration
- Green outline is where you are faster than your reference lap, orange outline is where you are slower

Real-time dashboard display software includes several configurable display types:
