Viso II+ canopy airspeed?

[Eagleeye 0]

L & B Viso II+ states that it records max speed in freefall as well as under canopy. Does it only record fastest speed? I am wondering if I could determine my canopy forward speed, e.g. forward speed before flaring with no ground wind?

Viso only records vertical speed.

GPS would give you horizontal speed.

Yes, only the fastest speed reached in freefall and under canopy will be recorded.
Also the speed numbers given by digital altimeters are highly inaccurate.
To get the data you want you'd need a gps device like a flysight or similar.
