Re: Data Overlay not showing in Exported Video

Please make sure the GoPro video you try to overlay uses a standard encoding and format. HEROs come with so many bells and whistles, it is easy to select something your iPhone can display, but will fail to generate a new video based on the non-standard input. For existing GoPro video, you may want t...

No, you can connect the adapters listed on http://www.gps-laptimer.de/compatibility/ios or http://www.gps-laptimer.de/compatibility/android only.

Re: Internal GPS sensor can't get position (Samsung Galaxy A51)

No problem, but it emphasizes how important a proper mounting position is. Both Android and iOS provide positions based on triangulation *or* GPS. The former isn‘t usable for track use - which is the reason LapTimer shows „no position“ here. In buildings, you will frequently think you have a proper ...

Re: kmz file to import in Android

kml files (kmz is short for kml.gz) are export only. They can't be used to restore former database content - at least not without heavy scripting and calculations.

Re: Internal GPS sensor can't get position (Samsung Galaxy A51)

Things to check: Permissions : start the Settings app and make sure you have granted all permissions to LapTimer. Free view to the sky : run your tests outside, not in a building / house. Compatibility : LapTimer can use direct access to your device's GPS NMEA stream, or use the Android location ser...

Re: Export all sessions

LapTimer exports a lap, all laps of a track, a day, a session, or everything. Exports are always one file. In case you need an export for alle sessions of a track, you need to export all laps of this track and split the result afterwards. This will require some scripting to make it do-able.

Re: Lost overlay video

So I understand the overlaid video does. It come with a valid video frame while audio works. This will be due to encoder/decoder incompatibility. For Android, LapTimer has two options selectable in Expert Settings. using hardware encoding: faster, lower quality, will fail for smartphone with unexpec...
