The R.L.C. Extreme DLD, Micro Pod and Data Pod provide Exact Track mapping using high speed 10 Hz. and 20 Hz. differential GPS. Using this technology, R.L.C. is able to achieve accuracy not possible using older G force style track mapping. Using our new technology, we are able to precisely map the edges of the track and then accurately map the exact line of the race car within the track for each and every individual lap.
Motec ADL1, ADL2 uses older G force track mapping. A PC is used to average G force and speed data to generate a single map to represent all completed laps. Also offers a high resolution GPS module in their catalog, but nowhere at the website do they mentioned the features it would provide nor the benefits of using it. We invite you to compare their track maps to R.L.C.'s and draw your own conclusion.

The R.L.C. Extreme DLD and Micro Pod provide the best ever GPS LAP Times, Split Times, and Predictive Lap timing without a beacon. Times are displayed in large pop up graphics windows with comparison to fastest lap or fastest track split section. The pop up timers are large and easy to see even during high speed stressful racing conditions.
Motec ADL1, ADL2 use their own proprietary encoded beacons to provide lap timing. Multiple beacons are required for split timing. No mention of predictive lap timing at their website. Lap times are only displayed in a small area of the screen. No information found at their website regarding GPS lap timing.
Aim Sports MXL PRO uses their own IR beacons to provide lap timing. Multiple beacons are used for split timing. GPS lap timing and split lap timing is not listed as a feature at their website, but their manual states they can perform lap and split times using GPS. While again not listed as a feature on their website, their manual also states predictive lap timing is accomplished using a software algorithium based on wheel speed, time and distance rather than GPS.
