Re: VBOX Sport 20 Hz GPS support
OK, I have a VBOX Sport on order from Racelogic and I bought LapTimer Pro last year. I just paid $9.95 to upgrade from Petrolhead automatic version 17 update to Grand Prix edition. Was the quote above supposed to apply to my situation, or not? I can't tell by the wording of the above offer.Harry wrote: I will grant a free upgrade from LapTimer Professional to the upcoming LapTimer Grand Prix edition v17 for VBOX Sport users purchasing a new LapTimer Professional version 16.8. LapTimer Grand Prix is expected to become available in Spring 2013.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Mike,
The above quote is void. At the time of writing, I expected to not have v17 available when the VBOX would become available. Instead I planned to release an intermediate version 16.8 with temporary VBOX support. As the VBOX release has been deferred, I never released that version 16.8. Hope that is fine for you.

Yes, Harry, that is perfectly fine. I can't wait to receive the VBOX Sport.

Re: VBOX Sport 20 Hz GPS support
A month later and still nobody actually has one? If I do buy one, I'm going to get the external magnetic antenna for the car roof rather than use the internal antenna with a windshield suction cup mount. That should minimize multipath and shadowing.
Re: VBOX Sport 20 Hz GPS support
There are several users around already. I had a chance to drive 3 or 4 laps at Nordschleife using it and it is great compared to any other GPS I have seen. No drop outs, high update rate, and high accuracy. I had the external antenna connected and mounted it to my car's roof - which is part of the quality result. From my point of view, the internal antenna cannot be compared.

Re: VBOX Sport 20 Hz GPS support
Just got my VBOX Sport (had already had been using GP17.xx)...what do I need to do to connect the Sport to Harry's in my iPhone? In Sensor List it shows the VBOX Sport as "Available" but I can't get it to say "Connected." What am I missing here?

Please make sure you a) have LapTimer Grand Prix installed (either purchase like this or upgraded from Petrolhead / Rookie) and b) have LapTimer ‣ Settings ‣ Expert Settings ‣ Accessory Tweaks ‣ Use Accessories set to "ON"

Success! Is that in any instructional/set up literature? If so I missed it countless times...if not, it ought to be!Harry wrote:Hi,oneday wrote:Just got my VBOX Sport (had already had been using GP17.xx)...what do I need to do to connect the Sport to Harry's in my iPhone?

Thanks, Harry. Will try to post up some feedback after a couple days on track next week.
