Respect to one russian inventor...

1hz is just not enough.

for what?

A guy here in Canada named Mike Cooper has developed (not entirely sure if it's in production just yet) a GPS based system that utilizes earphones and a system of increasing/decreasing tones to give you realtime feedback of glide angle for wingsuiting. This is cool and all, but looks a tad bulky...

FlySight is in production and the website is up:

Bulky? Looks small for a GPS based device. 2 x 2 x 0.6 inches. Weight 1 and 3/4 ounces.

I was referring to the OP's setup. Mike's unit is aewsome!

should put it in a set of goggles for a headsup display

I've been using the Flysight for a while now. I had a prototype this spring and summer.
The production version just arrived and I am stoked to try it, although nowadays our exit points are pretty snow-covered already.
I would recommend this tool highly for anyone who wants to improve their wingsuit flying. During practice jumps (skydiving), you can use it to memorize the most efficient body positions - having that muscle memory in the BASE environment will speed your progression. For the price, it's a no-brainer. You can also have a lot of fun viewing the tracklogs of your BASE jumps.
