AiM GPS09c Pro — 25 Hz GPS module with 100 Hz inertial platform

AiM GPS09c Pro is an external GPS module designed for AiM motorsport data acquisition systems. It provides GPS data at 25 Hz and connects to compatible AiM devices through the AiM CAN network.

The Pro version differs from the standard GPS09c by adding a 100 Hz 6-axis inertial platform. This allows the module to provide not only GPS position and speed data, but also IMU data such as accelerations and angular rates. These channels are useful for analysing vehicle behaviour, driver inputs and performance on track.

GPS09c Pro is not a road navigation device. It is a data acquisition module intended for lap timing, split timing and motorsport data analysis when used with compatible AiM systems.

Technical specifications

What is AiM GPS09c Pro used for?

GPS09c Pro is used as a GPS data source for compatible AiM dashes, data loggers and other AiM devices. Based on GPS data, the system can calculate lap times, split times, speed, track position and selected vehicle motion data.

The module works with the AiM track database, which includes start and finish line coordinates for more than 4000 tracks. When a known track is detected, a compatible AiM dash or logger can automatically calculate lap and split times. For a new track, timing references can be configured using the system setup and recorded data.

GPS data channels

GPS09c Pro can provide GPS channels at 25 Hz. Depending on the system configuration, available data may include:

• GPS speed,
• vehicle position,
• latitude and longitude,
• altitude,
• number of satellites,
• position accuracy,
• GPS heading,
• GPS time data.

IMU data in the Pro version

The main difference between GPS09c and GPS09c Pro is the integrated 6-axis inertial platform. The Pro version can transmit 100 Hz IMU data through CAN, including:

• acceleration X,
• acceleration Y,
• acceleration Z,
• pitch rate,
• yaw rate,
• roll rate.

These channels are useful for deeper analysis of vehicle dynamics, especially in car racing, karting, motorcycle racing and other applications where vehicle motion matters as much as position on track.

Compatibility

GPS09c Pro is designed to work with compatible AiM devices using the AiM CAN network. Before ordering, compatibility should be checked against the exact dash, logger, camera or PDM model, as support may depend on the device version and system configuration.

For more complex motorsport installations, it is also recommended to check the wiring layout and available CAN ports on the selected AiM device.

Who is this product for?

AiM GPS09c Pro is intended for users who want to expand their AiM data acquisition system with a fast GPS module and additional inertial data. It is a motorsport analysis device, not a general-purpose navigation receiver.

FAQ

What is the difference between GPS09c Pro and standard GPS09c?

The Pro version includes a 100 Hz 6-axis inertial platform. The standard GPS09c provides GPS data, while GPS09c Pro also provides IMU data such as accelerations and angular rates.

Is GPS09c Pro a navigation device?

No. GPS09c Pro is a data acquisition module for AiM systems. It is used for data logging, lap timing, split timing and motorsport analysis.

Can GPS09c Pro work as a standalone device?

GPS09c Pro is an accessory for compatible AiM devices. To use the recorded data effectively, it needs to be connected to a suitable dash, logger, camera or another compatible AiM system component.

Should compatibility be checked before ordering?

Yes. Compatibility should be confirmed with the exact AiM device model and the intended system configuration before ordering.

What does the 100 Hz inertial platform add?

The inertial platform records acceleration and angular motion data. This allows more detailed analysis of vehicle behaviour than GPS position data alone.
