It's an all-in-one instrument cluster. Replaces your tach, believe it can show gear number, shows your speed at certain points on the track, can tell you what lap you were fastest in a certain part of the track, etc. You just get a LOT more detail than "that lap was 1:38.87".

Speaking all 2nd hand knowledge though. My friend has one and raves about it, when it works. He's struggled to get it working at Road Atlanta and VIR a couple times (it doesn't recognize the loop for a while). Very well could be user error though. He's a pilot and doesn't do well with computers.

ETA: All lap timers with a red window on the pick-up unit are infrared and will work with a XT beacon.
