Sync iPhone <> Android Lap Timer Data (for video overlay)

Post by Jenius »

I have been trying to get the OBD dongle (MXLink+) working with good refresh rates with my iPhone. It's so hard that I gave up and bought an Android phone specifically for use with Harry's Lap Timer.

The purpose was to do video overlay.

Unfortunately, there seems no way to import my GoPro video to the Android phone (Galaxy S24) in a manner that Harry's Lap Timer can access (I can't find the folder.. permissions is so messy on Android..)

So I have 2 choices only:
1. Sync the laps I captured on the Android back to my iPhone, do the Overlay on the iPhone
2. Find a way to move the video into the required folder on the Android, and do Overlay on the Android.

Any advice on this would be welcomed!

Please transfer GoPro videos into the Photos app. LapTimer should be able to access them. Check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXjVb8nWCXI for a tutorial (it is a bit dated, but still valid).
