Samsung Galaxy S4 problem with video record

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

P.S. Alternative: do not enter a DriverID and duplicate your car definition and rename it as follows: MyCar, MyCar Fred, MyCar Suzi. This will be displayed in the overlay. You just need to switch the current car when the driver changes. Another workaround...

And one last question :)

This weekend I was at NS on BTG. But when i look into recorded data, in every lap is different lenght of track (in some cases it´s difference around 200-400m). I use allways same phone (i9505) with integrated A-GPS.

I went 5 rounds:
1. round 19.571m
2. round 19.596m
3. round 19.580m
4. round 19.750m
5. round 19.986m

I use auto record for video and I´ve noticed that HLT start video and lap timer much later than at Bridge and stop it around 200-300m before Gantry.

It´s problem with GPS in phone (too slow and not too much accurate)?

No, no problems here. Distance calculation from GPS can get pretty inaccurate depending on slightly varying GPS accuracy. The good news is the overall distance is used to derive an avg. speed only. It is not used for lap times, comparisons, or anything else that would influence accurate operation. Avg. speed calculation will be replaced by a design length in some future update.
