What do you want to get out of data logging? Do you want to be a better driver or are you trying to improve the car?

You must know Roger.

Depends on the GPS unit you have. The CDS unit can work with the AIM systems now and it's just a push button. The AIM one is pretty straightforward as long as you aren't trying to figure it out when you are on track which is what invariably happens.

The GPS is much more accurate than that nowadays. What are you logging with?
