Trackmaster on Android - SV650.org

Has anyone used this software on a track day?

I downloaded it before my Mallory Park last week but can't seem to get it to work properly.

Looks like it could be a very useful tool in measuring lap times etc. Not that you need it but it would be interesting to see if you progress throughout the day.

I got it, you need to use google earth and put 2 markers on the track to make it work.

Hopefully you have an external GPS as it doesnt like internal.

I see. Never really used Google earth before. So I'll have to have a look into it. I take it one marker is the start/finish line, what's the other?

The application itself uses google earth.

Go into split marker set and select new, when open select search and put the track details in.

I usually use half lap and full lap as markers

Ok, I think I have sussed it out now. Will have to put a few split markers around my block to test it out

Which external GPS do you use?

Would you mind explaining the exact setup? Cheers.

I got my external GPS from ebay I went for the most sensitive for the cheapest price I think its called an A+ or something I cant check as its on its way to Spain with the bike.

Don't know what you mean by exact setup? You need to buy the external GPS add on its only a couple of quid then the prog will detect your GPS and set it up itself. I have also set it up to start 30 secs after I press the red button.

By exact setup I meant where do you put the gps and is it wired into the bike. I seen some people fix the phone to the top yoke. Do you do this or just keep the phone in your pocket?

I stick the phone inside me leathers and the gps is bluetooth so no wires and I put it in the nose cone next to the camera. The GPS is rechargeable and lasts all day.
