Help with faulty accelerometer data for laps when using external GPS

Post by yarrgk »

Hi!

When using Harry's Lap Time Petrolhead version 21.2 on a Pixel 2 with an external GPS (XGPS-160), the accelerometer data is faulty and looks like the screenshot below.

When I don't use the XGPS-160 with my Pixel 2, the accelerometer data looks fine.
I have used Harry's Lap Timer on a Moto X phone (2014) with the XGPS-160 and the accelerometer data looked fine.

Thanks for the help!

We have a thread on this topic already. For now, please recalculate acceleration:
  • Analysis ‣ Lap List ‣ a lap ‣ Recalculate / Acceleration
This problem will be addressed during LapTimer v22 beta.

Thanks, I look forward to v22! (the recalculate option based on GPS isn't accurate enough for my purposes)

Just FYI to people not in the v22 beta, I and a few other people have confirmed that this issue is fixed.
