GPS Tripy-K technical specification
The Tripy-K GPS synthesises the experience acquired over more than ten years, during many major rallies.
It combines the technologies of the Tripy II and the Tripy R and S.
Like all Tripy tools, the equipment is developed and assembled at Tripy S.A. in Belgium, with total quality control and constant hardware and firmware maintenance.
The programming and active functions vary according to the needs of the rally.
