It should not violate the rules because it is not "integrated" with any of our own instruments. It is basically like having a GPS on board with a big display tolook at. I suppose if you used it in conjunction with your existing speedo it will give you current affects. That would be helpful at times.

If you are interested in ordering one you can do so through me directly. Just send me an e-mail.

:: Jason,
::
:: Since the unit functions off of GPS I would assume the
:: posted speeds will be actual speed over ground. Does
:: this create any issues? I would assume you use this unit
:: for relative speed changes and comparing the unit to
:: existing knot meter will show current and tide affects.
::
:: If we want to order how do we get the discount?
