RaceGrade BL GPS V3 20hz (w/Multi-GNSS)
These units are drop in replacements for any current product. The exterior dimensions and connector types and pin-outs are identical. They are marked clearly as V3 units. They do require a new antenna for Multi GNSS capabilities, but can use pre-existing RaceGrade GPS antennas if they are not subscribed to Multi GNSS.
The basics are that the performance without the paid-for Multi-GNSS option will nearly identical to the V2.1 device with a few software perks.
With Multi-GNSS enabled the unit uses GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou;
-
- Tracks up to 12 US GPS satellites
- Tracks up to 12 GLONASS satellites
- Tracks up to 22 BieDou satellites
- Tracks up to 3 SBAS correction satellites in parallel
- Galileo and QZSS capable with firmware update
- All variants deliver high-precision, differential positioning accuracy of 60 cm, 95% of the time
- 67% of the time precision will be 30cm
- Consumer off the shelf GPS is typically no less than 2.5M
- COAST and SureTrack routines maintain sub-meter DGNSS positioning for 40 minutes after SBAS correction loss

FAQs About RaceGrade BL GPS V3 20hz (w/Multi-GNSS)
What distinguishes the 20Hz Multi-GNSS model?
This is the top-tier option, combining the fastest update rate (20Hz) with the broadest satellite reception (Multi-GNSS). This results in the smoothest speed traces and most reliable positioning data available.
Which satellites does this unit track?
With Multi-GNSS enabled, it simultaneously tracks up to 12 US GPS, 12 GLONASS, and 22 BeiDou satellites, along with 3 SBAS correction satellites, ensuring a lock even in difficult environments.
How accurate is the positioning?
It delivers professional differential positioning accuracy of 60cm (95% of the time) and can achieve precision as tight as 30cm (67% of the time), whereas standard consumer GPS drifts by ~2.5 meters.
Is this unit compatible with older wiring?
Yes. It is designed as a drop-in replacement with identical exterior dimensions, connectors, and pin-outs to previous RaceGrade BL units, making upgrades simple.
Why is the included antenna important?
To utilize the Multi-GNSS capabilities (GLONASS/BeiDou), you must use the included wide-band antenna. Using an older antenna will restrict the unit to standard GPS signals only.
