Reversing a track?

Post by FordGT40 »

Hi. I love the app and have had a lot of fun playing with it. I have created a "track" consisting of four sectors from my home to my place of employment. I like to see if I can beat my best time each day (driving legal speeds of course!). I do this virtually everyday but notice that I get strange data in comparison to my best lap. The course was originally designed from home to work but I also use it while driving home so it is then "work to home". Could this be what is causing the inaccurate data? In other words, is HLT reading sector 1 as two different areas depending on which way I am going? If so, is there a work-around I could use such as copying my track or do I just need to create two different tracks and use one for driving to work and the other for driving home?
Thanks.

Hi,

We had this discussion on Facebook some month ago:

Actually you need to set up two tracks (see the link) to get that working. LapTimer will fail comparing sector times and predictive timing when mixing laps going two different directions.
