you can even design your own track !! and 1/4mile

Gotta setup my e65 !!

[R32Big_boy]

i'll be at sandown tomorrow, i'll try to create a map and upload it.

[guesty]

Any news on if it works?

[Angus Smart]

i think i needed the nokia attachment for gps.. i was trying it on a n70

and i couldnt quiet download tracks at all. as it wouldnt connect? any chance someone can get the maps up on here??

Sweet i was looking at something like this ages ago, but this is heaps better!

[Duncan]

we've just ordered nokia 6110 Navigator that runs this software....unfortunately no stock in the country for about 4 weeks....will give this a shot after that

[Beer Baron]

I have to be honest I'm not sure how good it will be. I have a Nokia N95 and the navi on it is not so crash hot. it takes a little while to get a lock so I'm not sure how well it will fare doing something as precise as track timing.

[sav man]

seems good if you already have a compatible nokia, but if you have to go out and buy one, wouldn't you be better spending a little extra and getting a performance box? (drift box without drift angles)

I hope you didn't purely buy a 6110 for this software Duncan, as at this stage they don't support the internal GPS receiver.

Its probably better anyway to have an external receiver mounted on the glass anyway. I reckon this wouldn't be a bad way to time in tarmac rallies for your own reference (better than a stop watch in your hand that you can easily bump, or forget about

lol no i bought it because it had lots of toys lol. bit of a bummer the internal gps isnt supported though

[justin911]

i tried this out at phillip island today. its seems to be pretty accurate. it was off by like 1/10 of a second.

Its cool you just turn it on, then once you pass the start line (in like 3 seconds or 3 hours etc..) it starts recording the times

duncan buy an external bluetooth gps. then you should be able to use the program. I use the 'holux m1000' bluetooth gps. its $70 or so including postage on ebay. You'll also be able to use tomtom and all the other programs which dont like nokias gps.

if i bought an external gps box to hook up to the phone will it store the lap times? or will the phone?

[justin911]

it will store it on the phone on the memory card. the software is also on the phone. the bluetooth gps adaptor just works out the gps info then sends it to the phone, its the the software/phones job to do all the calculations to work out the times based on the info.

anyone got a .sis file extension software to open it with?

[justin911]

you need to download 'nokia pc suite' i think its called. it comes with all the software to connect to phone and sync stuff and also the program with installs .sis files on your phone.

anyone got a .sis file extension software to open it with?

[PHaT MR30]

Or plug your phone in and put it into mass storage device mode, copy the file across and then install it from the phone.

The analysis stuff is really good too

[guesty]

Just curious, so i would need to buy a n60 and the Holux M1000 to get the lap timer to work correctly? Is there any cheaper way to get your lap times without having to buy a GPS Phone?

[Beer Baron]

yes there is a much cheaper way to get accurate lap times. buy a mychron light TG for about $350.
