Trace, track, time and map your next race automatically with this application. This application can be used for Kart racers or by anyone who takes their car or motorcycle out to the track. It will also work for track runners, bicyclists and horse racers.
This application will time each lap, track statistics and draw an animated map showing your course and speed on top of satellite imagery of the track.
After each race, you can get an animated replay of every lap and turn you took during the race. You can see speed change as you race the course.
Keep history of every race, including: statistics, race name, track name, and a history map showing race locations by date.
The application uses the phone GPS, which relies on satellites - so it will not work in doors. The phone GPS needs a clear view of the sky and works best if it is in an upper pocket like a shirt or jacket so that it can get a better GPS signal.
Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Make sure to stop the application when not using or if your battery is low.
