Autocross Issues

Post by jpitz31 »

1. On the web site there is no documentation for Autocross
2. When walking I cannot get the calibration to work. I even tried running and still no calibration.
3. On the Lap Timer screen When I click on the warning icon, and then attempt to click on the calibration link, it does not take me to calibration.
4. Once I record the start and finish triggers and go back to the main menu, there is no instructions on how to start an autocross event.
If I select Lap Timer, and then walk to the start line and continue to walk, 90% of the time the lap timer does not start. If it does start, many times the video is not recorded.

If I save several autocross events by name, how do I select a given autocross segment. No instructions are given?

I have the Grand Prix version and running on a One Plus N200 5G Android

Please contact me, as I would like a refund.

Thanks

When starting the Autocross assistant, you'll get step by step instructions.

What calibration are you referring to? In case it is about acceleration: using individual calibration is possible, but discouraged. It is a lot easier to just out the device like shown in illustration #4 of Quick Reference and keep the Automatic mode. In case you really want to use individual calibration, start with reading the "Acceleration Handling" document available on http://www.gps-laptimer.de/documentation

In general, LapTimer does not trigger when walking (or even running). This is to work around false starts.

In case you have set up an Autocross with a standing start, drive to the position set for start and follow the instructions shown. You need to stop near the start and wait until you get the message you can go now. Once you start, LapTimer will trigger when reaching a certain speed. It will extrapolate the time since the "real" starting position and add this to the recording.
