Speedo stays at 0 mph on overlay

Help on issues you run into with LapTimer; in case you have a question on how to use LapTimer, use the forum "Using LapTimer" instead

Speedo stays at 0 mph on overlay

Post by mecheng1 »

First time user with Samsung Galaxy S6 32GB running Grand Prix version, paired with Racelogic VBox, running on the track at PBIR in Florida. When I try to overlay my videos, I get the overlay but it only shows a running timer, the speedo stays at 0mph.
Seems I cannot switch on the speed feature.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!. Thanks

Please check your data by selecting the lap from Lap List, pressing "Preview" showing the track shape and selecting Charts. This will give you the speed chart, does it look valid?

If you don't have an OBD dongle, you may need to set the overlay options to use GPS speed instead of wheel speed.

Again, sounds like a data problem. In case you want further assistance, please post / send a .hlptrl export of the lap overlaid. Please export exactly one lap you have a problem with, it is difficult to surf through lists of laps.

Well, I managed to overlay a few laps now and I can see everything fine on my Galaxy. However, when I copy the overlayed .MP4s to my computer I cannot play the videos. I have just about exhausted my attempts to do this. Any ideas please?

Try a different viewer. The free VLC viewer for example should work.
