I just have the basic Traqmate for use at HPDE's so I can review my driving at a later time. It doesn't have an in car screen. Just mount the unit with velcro, mount the gps sensor, push record and forget about it. The software that comes with it is super easy to use.

I don't have mine connected to a video camera yet, but I'm considering doing this soon and also connecting my Tach to it also. For an ametaur that only makes it to few driving events a year it fits my needs.

Software is where you extract your benefit of having a data logger. Make sure you try using the ones you are considering.

DL1 was my choice. Also happens to be what Phoenix (SCCA) and all the GM supported Grand Am Cup teams use as well. If you want some sample data just send me an email.

For the money, AIM makes a nice system. Especially because you get a display that can be your full dash even with the base system. I've also used their $2200 system that has a few more bells and whistles. AIM also has the best manual I've seen which is important. I've used PI Research on cars and the manual is crap which makes the system much harder to use.
I've used the AIM dash as a stand alone system on racecars.

I use RacePak's G2X, it is great and easy to use but doesn't have video.
