Lap Timing
The lap timing feature measures the interval of time between passes of a chosen spot (Start /
th
Finish Line). It uses both location and heading to determine the exact spot to 1/10 second
accuracy. You can be at any place on the track but must be heading in approximately the same
direction as the reference lap for the timing to work.
