RALLY EXPLAINER - Choosing a Tripmeter

What is a Tripmeter?

The ability to measure traveled distance accurately, and correlate it with distances in a roadbook is at the heart of Rally Navigation.

A tripmeter at its most basic is simply an adjustable, highly accurate odometer. More advanced features can include measuring speed, providing compass headings for HP/OP sections, providing a clock, stage timer, hour meter for maintenance scheduling, and displaying waypoint information.

How do they work?

There are two main types of tripmeters:

• Wheel Sensor Driven

Wheel sensor tripmeters rely on a micro switch sensor usually placed near a front wheel hub that is triggered by a magnet usually located on a brake rotor. As the magnet passes over the sensor with each revolution of the wheel, a pulse is registered by the tripmeter. This pulse is multiplied by the conversion factor programmed into the tripmeter, and a distance is displayed to the racer. Wheel sensor tripmeters require very little electricity to operate, and can operate for periods without external power. Wheel sensor tripmeters are usually less expensive.

GPS driven tripmeters rely on a GPS antenna to provide course data to the tripmeter. In additional to displaying speed and odometer, GPS driven tripmeters can provide additional functionality like compass (CAP) headings. GPS driven tripmeters do not require the install and routing of a wheel sensor, but will not function without external power. NOTE: Some events such as Dakar or Rebelle restrict the use of GPS devices.

An in-depth discussion of the effective accuracy difference between GPS and Wheel Sensor is here , but for nearly all Rally purposes, we can consider the accuracy between the two to be equal. Nearly all of the (very rare) Tripmeter failures we see are related to cable damage. Both GPS and Wheel Sensor units can be equally reliable with careful install and cable protection.

ICO or RNS?

Since its release in 2017, the ICO MAX series has become the world standard. It’s rare to see a Dakar bike without at least one ICO MAX-2 (Wheel Sensor). The MAX series has a composite case and 25x65mm “Seven Segment” LCD screen (Similar to a digital clock) with bright orange backlight. The MAX-G has an external cabled GPS Antenna. The ICOs are designed and built in the USA.

The ICO MAX-2 (Wheel Sensor) is $350USD

The ICO MAX-G (GPS) is $450USD

The RNS GFX series was released in 2020 and is the next generation of Rally Tripmeters. The GFX series has an anodized billet aluminum case, and 35x60mm Transflective HD Graphics 172ppi LCD screen (Similar resolution to a tablet or laptop screen) with a bright blue backlight. This screen allows for the display of multiple data at once, and full text menus.  The Pro model has an internal GPS for durability and simplicity. It also has the capability to connect to an external GPS device to display hidden waypoint arrows similar to an ERTF or RallyComp, which is great for realistic training. The RNS GFX Series is designed and manufactured in Germany.

The RNS GFX Standard (Wheel Sensor) is $500USD

The RNS GFX Pro (Internal GPS and Wheel Sensor) is $640USD

The Ultimate Guide to Mastering Your Car’s Trip Meter

Have you ever glanced down at your car’s instrument panel and noticed a small device labeled “trip”? This handy tool, called a trip meter, can provide a wealth of information about your car’s performance and help you keep track of essential maintenance tasks.

In older vehicles, this used to be an analog device, but in newer vehicles, it has transitioned into digital. Let’s explore everything you need to know about effectively utilizing the trip meter in your car.

Understanding the Basics of Your Trip Meter

At its most basic level, the trip meter is simply a tool for measuring distance. Most cars have two types of trip meters: one that measures the total distance (called the odometer) and one that measures individual trips (called the trip meter). To switch between the two, consult your vehicle owner’s manual. It’s also important to remember to reset the trip meter before each trip in order to get accurate readings.

Using Your Trip Meter for Maintenance

The trip meter can also be an invaluable tool for staying on top of vehicle maintenance. By using the trip meter to keep track of mileage, you can schedule oil changes and tire rotations at the appropriate intervals. This will help extend the life of your car and prevent serious mechanical issues down the line. It’s also a good idea to take note of any strange noises or changes in your car’s performance, as these could be warning signs of more serious problems.

Maximizing Your Trip Meter’s Potential

Some additional ways to get the most out of your trip meter are worth noting. For example, you can use the trip meter to plan road trips by calculating the distance between destinations and the amount of fuel needed. You can also use it to determine if you have enough fuel to make it to your destination or if you need to fill up along the way. By using these tips to utilize your trip meter fully, you’ll be able to maximize your car’s performance as well as avoid costly repairs.

Using Your Trip Meter for Fuel Economy

Perhaps the most useful application of the trip meter is for monitoring your car’s fuel economy. By calculating the distance traveled since your last fill-up and dividing it by the amount of fuel you added, you can determine your car’s fuel efficiency. Thankfully newer cars have multiple trip meter reading options which means you can track home-to-office distance using Trip A and use Trip B to measure traveling on weekends.

Additionally, the trip meter can help you monitor your driving habits and identify areas where you can improve your fuel economy. If you notice that your fuel economy is lower than usual, try driving at a more moderate speed or reducing the amount of time you spend idling.

In conclusion, a trip meter is a powerful tool that can provide important information about your car’s performance and help you keep track of key maintenance tasks. By using the trip meter to monitor your driving habits, fuel efficiency, and mileage, you’ll be able to extend the life of your vehicle and avoid costly repairs. So take a moment to familiarize yourself with your car’s trip meter and start utilizing its full potential today.

I don’t eat, sleep or dream of cars, I am just someone who loves to see, think & write about cars. I love Ferrari in Pink but they won’t make one for me. I use X to write my full name, but that doesn’t mean I’m inspired by Altis X, in fact, my dad hates it 😀 Btw I’m an occasional writer so don’t expect too much from me 🙂

Speedometer Vs Odometer Vs Trip Meter: What Are The Differences

The instrument cluster of a car contains several important instruments that give drivers important information. Three such instruments are the speedometer, odometer, and trip meter. Many car owners don’t know the difference between these components, and if you are one of such drivers, you’ve come to the right place.

Speedometers track how fast a car is moving, odometer tracks the total distance traveled by car, while trip meters measure distance traveled between trips. The information provided by these three instruments is of great value to car owners.

Odometers, speedometers, and trip meters are usually located on the dashboard or instrument cluster where a driver can take a quick glance at them without losing concentration. Anyone who has ever driven a car is bound to be familiar with the speedometer and odometer. The trip meter is likely the one most people are less familiar with.

However, we’ll be discussing all three instruments and the differences between them for educational purposes. So, continue reading to learn more about these important instruments.

Understanding The Odometer, The Mileage Tracker

An odometer tracks mileage which is the total distance traveled by car. Designed to be non-resettable, an odometer will track mileage through the vehicle’s lifetime.

There are several important reasons for tracking the mileage of a car, and one of such reasons is to know the level of work the engine has been subjected to. And this is usually considered when buying a used car. A 5-year-old vehicle with 5,000 mileage will be considered better than a 2-year-old car with 10,000 mileage.

It’s a crime to tamper with the odometer of a car, something that happens as people reduce the readings on the odometer to increase the value of the car. It’s more difficult to tamper with digital odometers than mechanical odometers which are typically found in older cars.

A car’s mileage can also be used to track fuel economy, which is the rate at which the vehicle consumes fuel. Also, mileage can be used for maintenance practices such as oil changes or servicing the engine.

Your car insurance may also require you to track mileage, especially if you are using a mileage-based car insurance plan. Doing this allows you to know when to get a top-up or when to drive less to avoid exceeding the current limit of your plan.

Odometers can be digital or mechanical. Mechanical odometers are something of a dying breed as modern cars now favor digital odometers, which use an optical or magical sensor connected to the transmission of a car to calculate mileage. For mechanical odometers, mileage is calculated by an output shaft attached to the transmission.

Understanding The Speedometer – The Instrument That Measures Speed

The speedometer is designed for only one purpose, and that is to measure the speed a car is traveling at. The speedometer starts reading the moment the car is in motion and goes back to zero when the car comes to a complete stop. So, unless the car is moving, the speedometer reading will always be at zero.

Without speedometers, drivers would have no idea of how fast they are moving. So, a speedometer allows drivers to know their current speed to allow them to drive safely to avoid accidents. Also, speedometers allow drivers to travel within speed limits. If you go above the speed limit, you may be flagged down by an officer of the law and receive a warning if you are really lucky. If Lady Luck isn’t smiling at you, you may be charged and fined.

Understanding The Trip Meter

The trip meter, also called the trip odometer, is an instrument some drivers may not be familiar with, especially those that drive older cars. Modern cars generally have trip meters because of how easy it is to incorporate them since they are usually digitized.

The function of a trip meter is to record distance making it similar to an odometer. However, the trip meter is resettable. You can always reset the trip meter back to zero whenever you want.

Some cars tend to come with two independent trip meters, which are usually designated Trip A and Trip B. Having two independent and resettable trip meters is advantageous to drivers as they can use the two meters for different purposes.

For example, Trip A can be used to monitor the total distance traveled in a day or in a week. At the end of the day or week, the trip meter can then be reset after taking note of the distance traveled. Trip B, on the other hand, can be used for other purposes, such as tracking the total distance traveled between fuel refills. This can give drivers insight into how far they can travel on a full tank, half tank, or a particular amount of fuel. Drivers will know whenever there’s a change in the rate at which the engine is consuming fuel or if the fuel obtained from a different source is of lower or higher quality.

Differences Between Speedometer, Odometer, and Trip Meter

As discussed above, the difference between these three instruments is their function. Below is a table to simplify the differences.

Looks great but...

Posted by Kevin on 17th Oct 2023

Shipping was quick, good price and the speedometer looks great. Fits the rest of the bike nicely. But that's where the good stops. The tiny incandescent light included only lights up the mile per hour marking on the bottom right above the light. If you're riding in the middle of the night you will not see the top half of your speedometer. When I first started using it it was 3 to 4 mph off which is completely fine given the price of this thing. Mechanically driven though I would expect to be spot on. The last night however the speedometer kept climbing from 80 to 120 on its own accord and then did not fall until I brought the bike to a complete stop. Now it's off by 10 to 15 mile an hour and the odometer digits are shaking back and forth badly.

What is a Trip Odometer: Explaining Your Car’s Mileage Tracker

A trip odometer is a useful feature found alongside the main odometer on a vehicle’s dashboard. It provides additional information to the driver by tracking the distance covered during individual trips.

Unlike the main odometer, which logs the total mileage the vehicle has accumulated over its lifetime, a trip odometer can be reset. This allows drivers to measure the distance of specific journeys, monitor fuel consumption for precise distances, or gauge travel time for regular routes without affecting the permanent record of total miles traveled by the vehicle.

We can reset the trip odometer before starting a new journey to ensure accurate distance tracking for that particular trip.

Many modern vehicles come with digital odometers, which include one or more trip meters providing an easy-to-read display.

The advantage of having this information readily available helps us manage our driving patterns, plan for maintenance, and keep tabs on vehicle performance.

It’s a straightforward yet indispensable tool that complements the comprehensive data offered by the vehicle’s dashboard.

Trip Odometer: A Detailed Dive

Odometers have been central to how we understand vehicle usage. They track the total distance a vehicle has traveled, transitioning from mechanical gears to crisp digital displays.

Evolution from Mechanical to Digital

Initially, odometers were mechanical devices, consisting of a series of gears connected to the vehicle’s transmission. As the car moved, the rotation of the wheels turned the gears, advancing the odometer’s display to reflect the distance traveled.

Their durability meant they could last the lifetime of the vehicle, but they were not without drawbacks. Precise calibration was essential to ensure accuracy, and physical wear could eventually lead to inaccuracy or failure.

In recent years, digital odometers have largely replaced mechanical ones. They work by receiving electronic signals from a sensor, usually located in the vehicle’s transmission.

These signals are then processed by the vehicle’s computer system to display the traveled distance on the digital screen.

Digital odometers offer more than just a readout of total distance; their integration with the vehicle’s electronic systems allows for additional features like trip meters and maintenance reminders.

How Odometers Measure Distance

This distance is known as the tire’s circumference, and by counting each revolution, odometers can determine how far the car has gone.

For a more comprehensive look, here’s an overview:

A trip odometer , specifically, allows us to measure the distance for individual journeys. Located within the instrument cluster, it operates similarly to the main odometer but can be reset to zero, providing separate tracking for the distance of specific trips.

This function is valuable for mileage tracking for business travel, monitoring fuel efficiency, or even just noting the length of a road trip.

A speedometer , by contrast, informs us how fast the vehicle is moving at any given moment, which, although related to distance measurement, serves a separate role in the vehicle’s suite of instrumentation.

The Role of Odometers in Vehicle Maintenance

Odometers serve as vital tools for monitoring vehicle health and scheduling maintenance. They provide essential data that allow us to keep our vehicles running efficiently.

Tracking Mileage for Service Intervals

• Engine Oil : Replace approximately every 5,000 miles
• Air Filter : Replace around 15,000 to 30,000 miles
• Transmission Fluid : Change every 30,000 to 60,000 miles

Fuel Economy and Efficiency

Fuel economy can be optimized through diligent maintenance, using the trip odometer to monitor fuel use between fill-ups.

This helps us assess the vehicle’s fuel efficiency and detect potential issues, which is especially important for the engine and transmission systems.

Accurate readings enable targeted improvements in driving habits or prompt service checks to prevent inefficiencies.

Detecting and Preventing Odometer Fraud

In our experience, preventing odometer fraud begins with awareness and understanding of the common tampering methods. The knowledge of legal protections further adds to a consumer’s defense against this crime.

Common Methods of Odometer Tampering

Odometer fraud is a deceptive act aimed to increase a used car’s resale value by reducing the mileage displayed. Tampering often involves disconnection , resetting , or alteration of the odometer.

Physical Tampering: Manual rolling back of miles on older odometers.

Electronic Tampering: Using sophisticated software to reprogram digital odometers.

Vehicle Data Interference: Altering mileage data in vehicle control units.

To combat these illegal practices, we suggest the following preventative measures :

• Service Records Analysis : Cross-reference the odometer reading with historical service data.
• Wear and Tear Inspection : Physical signs of use may not match with the reported mileage.
• Diagnostic Tools : Use electronic diagnostics to fetch original mileage data from the vehicle’s computer.

Legal Implications and Consumer Protection

Odometer tampering is illegal and violators may face substantial penalties, including fines and imprisonment.

Consumers should be aware that:

We need to ensure that consumers are aware of their rights and the steps taken to seek retribution.

Reporting suspected fraud to agencies like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is crucial.

Regulations at both federal and state levels are in place as a safety net for those impacted by this crime.

Also, professional inspections by certified mechanics can provide an additional layer of protection during the used car buying process.
