By and large, autocrossers use connected systems with a PDA or Smartphone that rides along in the car. This allows them to review data quickly between runs. Autocrossers who want a system they can carry in their pocket should consider combining a Quantum™ or Quantum Dot™ with an iPod Touch (or iPhone). Customers who prefer a larger screen or who want video should consider using a netbook. Road racers generally use a standalone module on the car (MQGPS-TraQr™ or Quantum) and download the data to a netbook. However, road racers who also want a cockpit lap time display should use an iPod Touch (or iPhone) mounted to the dashboard and connected to a Quantum or Quantum Dot. Any racer who wants integrated video and data will want to use a full VeQtr™ system, which includes a Quantum or Quantum Dot and a netbook that rides along in the car. Dashboard lap times can be displayed on the optional remote LCD.
