What happened to my favorite feature?

Post by Cloud9...68 »

My favorite feature in Laptimer is (was) the ability to select a lap from my lap list, scroll down to the image of the track, tap the image to bring it to full screen, select Charts, and scroll over one or two screens to bring up the map of the track, with a cursor which I could drag with my finger to display my speed, and g-force in each direction, at every instantaneous point on the track for that lap. This was extremely valuable, as it allowed me to assess how fast I was going at each point on the track, and compare myself to other drivers on the same track who had posted data-containing videos on youtube. What happened to this feature? Please tell me it has just been moved to a new location. Thanks.

Please verify you run LapTimer GrandPrix. The feature has actually been enhanced and is available with two cursors now. You can set / drag one cursor to get the functionality as before. Set a second cursor and you will see all delta values between the two cursors.

In case it doesn't work for you, please let me know which version / device you are using. It is probably best to post a snapshot of one of the charts in addition.

I will move this topic to Using LapTimer.

I'm definitely using Grand Prix, v20.0.11 - May 19 2016. I just looked at it again, and am I now see that when I tap on any of the charts to create a cursor, the very small diagram of the track at the upper left-hand corner of each of the charts (Speed @ Distance, a friction circle, Lateral Acceleration @ Distance, Lineal Acceleration @ Distance, Yaw Rate @ DistanceHeight @ Distance, and Heart Rate @ Distance) shows me the travel of the car as I drag the cursor right and left, like before with the larger diagram of the track. And I see what you're describing - I can create two cursors. But honestly, the old version, where the map fit onto the entire screen, was more useful, because the size of the map allowed me to pinpoint my speed and g forces very clearly at each point on the track. The new map is so tiny that it isn't nearly as easy to tell exactly what part of a corner I'm in for the data that's displayed. Is there any way to blow up the track to the full screen size like before?

No, I will probably add a resize option in the future.

That would be great. Put me down as a solid vote in favor of a re-sizing feature!
