Gopro won’t connect, Overlay out of sync and lap triggering
Posted: Sun Jun 13, 2021 6:12 pm
Hi,
I’ve been using Harry’s for years now with great success, but around December 2020, I started having issues with my GoPro not connecting via WiFi, overlays being several seconds out of sync, as well as recently not getting Harry’s to trigger any laps at all during my last outing to NYST, where it has worked flawlessly in years past.
I believe the GoPro communication issue to be an issue with the GoPro unit itself, as it struggles to connect with other devices outside of just my phone, so I will have purchased a new Hero9 Black to replace my older Hero5 Session.
In April, I used Harry’s at Atlanta Motorsports Park, and used the phone’s camera to record the sessions. For whatever reason, the overlaid footage is several seconds out of sync. Not sure if I did something wrong, or there was a glitch somewhere, but have never had an out of sync overlay before, between either phone camera OR GoPro footage. The accelerometer seemed to be quite a bit off as well and had a lot of trouble calibrating.

Even worse, most recently in May, I was not able to get Harry’s to trigger ANY laps at NYST, where it has worked flawlessly in years past.
I did recently backup all my currently stored laps to the email file.
Should I delete and re-install my app? Should I update to the latest version of iOS? I’m heading to a new track next weekend and would rather no have to mess with LapTimer problems if I can avoid it.
