got to be handy to check times after each practice session to see what's working especially for trying different gearing etc- lets you know how far off the mark you are- reckon looking during the session is only going to slow you down or cause a nasty misshap though
- the beacons do seem to work on track days too- you just got to hide them away down in fairing so they cant see that you've got them fitted
- at pembrey trackday last year got praised for not using it when they saw the empty velcro on top yoke- little did they know..

A glance down on the straight is normally all it takes. I used it quite a bit last year, more to check I was roughly on constant pace when getting tired towards the end of a race

There was time on the back straight at Snetterton to have a look and add that time to the split time you had a look at coming up the start finish straight.

I'd like to know why there was a second beacon on

If you get one that signals best lap so far / best of session then you need not look at it.

The GET one I had (and probably all GPS ones) let you set splits. Mine would flash a green or Red LED as you passed the split and tell you how much up/down you were on that split (to your best lap). It was nice I keep seeing that green LED in the bottom of your vision as you worked your way through the first session.

With splits it also may give you the lap time that you could have done by combining the three splits.

I don't use this as I think I might already know I could do better. I do like gps for ease of setup and other peoples beacons not interfering.
