Do I need the Speed Gauge?

[SwiftCloud]

I am considering replacing the panel that currently has my tach and speed gauges and replacing it with a panel that has my GPS flush-mounted. With that, there will only be room for one of my gauges...

I can get fuel level, speed, and voltage through my GPS display. Am I overlooking any feature or alarms on my speed gauge? Any reason the tach gauge won't work without the speed gauge?

Thanks for your thoughts!!

No, you do not need the speed gauge if you can get it from your GPS.

This what i did on the Formula

One of those and one the same size for tach and hour meter.

No, you do not need a speed gauge. Even if you couldn't hook it up to gps, I would say you can do without. I think the tach is much more useful. I never really pay much attention to my speed gauge. Plus, mine has a pitot tube that registers the gauge through pressure and I have always suspected that this sucker is way off. Anyway, I just have never really relied on the speed gauge.
