Veloset VS-600 GPS Introduction
The Veloset VS-600 GPS is the brand-new and high sensitivity GPS device for cyclist’s
and sports enthusiasts from Veloset. It is a robust waterproof handheld computer
with cycle mounting attachments. You can track your speed, distance, time,
odometer, GPS coordinates and elevation. This compact cycle meter has all the
essential functions of an advanced cycle computer, including a very useful light
sensor controlled back light and is supplied with a feature rich map route plotting
software package.
While riding, the Veloset VS-600 GPS shows your speed with pin-point accuracy,
distance, trip time and altitude co-ordinates are logged each second automatically. It
records all your GPS GEO data for your records to download to your PC. Data logging
enables the recording of your complete route for view on Google Earth and Google
map. For saving data on the unit, you can record your tracks in different folders –
General, working, sport and travelling. For saving data, the Veloset VS-600 GPS saves
GPS co-ordinates every second while moving. If you are motionless, the device
automatically saves track data every one minute.
Other useful functions include the speed behind reminder. When your current speed
is lower than Average speed, the screen will flash every 3 seconds to alert you to
improve your performance and catch up the speed. The Light-sensor will turn on the
back light automatically when it’s nightfall, or in a dark place (tunnel).
The Veloset VS-600 Handheld GPS is easy to attach on the handle bar or frame of
your bike, with a quick release bracket to remove the main unit when not in use.
When you start, simply turn on the device and the GPS satellites will get your
location in several seconds. The wire free GPS powered computer may be designed
for use with cyclists in mind but with a 260,000 waypoint memory it makes a perfect
multi-sports GPS and GEO logging computer.
