Hi,

The Garmin Glo never showed up on LapTimer's Sensor list because it cannot be integrated directly (like Dual's or Racelogic's GPSes). Instead, it makes available its GPS stream to iOS's location service and replaces the internal GPS. So with the Glo attached, you should see "iPhone GPS @ 3/4 Hz" in LapTimer's sensor list. For more information on direct integration (or not), please check http://www.gps-laptimer.de/Compatibility.html and http://www.gps-laptimer.de/GPS_and_Accuracy.html

Thanks, but i don't think the Glo stream replaces the internal GPS on ios7 when the Glo attached, because the gps sensor only show "iPhone GPS connected @1Hz", but the Glo do works well with ios6 at least 3-4Hz.

Could you please check with that?

Thanks!

I will check the next time I have access to a Glo (not a recommendation for LapTimer, so I have limited testing capabilities). As this is a iOS7/Garmin Glo issue, I'd suggest to contact Garmin's support on this. LapTimer has no special handling for the Glo but instead simply uses iOS location service and measures what is coming in (measured update rate).
