This hasn't been released yet, but if you own a Garmin GPS, keep a look out for this soon...


I actually saw one functioning today, and i was blown away with all the options...Everything could be monitored.. Timing, RPM, coolant temp, Mass air flow sensor.

Take a look:

that would be cool. Knowing Garmin, they'll charge $1500 for it. I just had my nuvi stolen out of my truck, so, I'm sad. Had to buy a new one today at Sams club. Already bought the interceptor so won't need to look at this GPS

well knowing garmin, if there isnt much additional hardware needed for it, you can get the software for free if you know where to look.
