O.k., please check the following:
- Harry
- Goto Settings app
- Check you have NOT selected flight mode
- Navigate into Loacation Services
- Make sure you have both general location service and LapTimer location service enabled
- Start LapTimer and change to GPS View
- Go outside (i.e. do not test in a room)
- Wait some seconds / minutes to give your phone a chance to get a lock

I made the adjustments as you suggested and that cured the problem,,,thanks for that.
My next issue is not with the timer, I just don't know how to do it. The events i am involved in are sprints were we run one and a half laps against the clock. We start from the pit lane, break the timer, do a full lap and then break the finish beam at approximately 1.5 laps later. Therefore if i use the pit lane to start recording data, how do i get the timer to ignore the finish point the first time the car passes and end on the second pass?
thanks

Re: NO GPS
Hi,
There is no general solution for this. Here are two work arounds that may work:
There is no general solution for this. Here are two work arounds that may work:
- Place the standing go trigger in the pit lane. Assuming the pit lane is to the right if the start / finish straight, define he stop trigger to the leftmost position (or even beyond) of the track.
- Make the stop trigger a stop / go trigger, so you can add the time and at least know what happened. The dominant difference (on time achieved) will come from the full lap anyway?
