I often look at the acceleration graphs when trying to find time at the track. The overall acceleration graphic on the track map is very useful but can't be used to compare laps. By comparing laps, I am able to tell if more net acceleration is available on any part of the track. I understand all of this can be done post, but I think it would be really useful to have on the track. So, I guess I'm requesting the following:

1) Overall acceleration vs distance graph
2) Ability to have multiple acceleration channels on one distance graph (lat, long, overall on current lap vs reference lap)
3) Maybe a graph maker? Simple arithmetic using logged variables? Ability to save custom math channels?
4) Ability to have a reference lap underlay on the overall acceleration vs course position graphic.
5) Charts currently have X axis zoom, Y axis zoom would be useful
6) Output Z accel data so acceleration calibration can be verified and/or corrected in post processing. Z accel is also useful for normal-load on non-aero cars.

Thanks,

P.S. Awesome app and incredible deal...I was able to lower my time 2.5s from a plateau and beat my best lap on semi slicks by 0.8s on all seasons! And I have a sweet overlaid video to prove it.

Hi,

Overall acceleration will be part of LapTimer v17 - certainly including reference lap comparison. On the other refinements and graph maker: although an attractive idea, this most probably falls into the scope of features that should be present on a desktop version instead of an app. Things simply get too complicated on the small screen otherwise.

Thanks for the proposal and hope the overall thing is appreciated.

I second the request for Z axis acceleration data. It's very important if the track isn't level.
