## What is VBOX Laptimer?

LapTimer is a powerful laptiming app which works with the internal GPS of the iPhone or as a companion to the VBOX Sport which uses a high accuracy GPS receiver to enhance the capabilities of your iPhone.

Collecting GPS data at 20 times per second the VBOX Sport provides a level of accuracy currently unheard of with iPhone and iPad apps.  Our LapTimer app uses this data to provide you with accurate lap times and predictive lap times for your vehicle. 

You can use your iPhone or iPad to display your speed, your current lap time, your predicted lap time or a list of previous lap times all using the same VBOX technology used by many of the world’s major motor manufacturers and car magazines.

Key features

Auto track selection – based on your current location and using our comprehensive track map database, no need to set the start/finish line
Predicted lap time – using unique Racelogic algorithms to predict your current lap time based on your reference lap with delta-t shown in a red/green bar graph
Display current speed or maximum speed in mph or km/h
List of lap times, including sector times where available
Custom circuit creation – create your own track or circuit and start/finish line if required
Save your lap data in a Racelogic .vbo file for analysis in Circuit Tools software
Range of configuration options

All of the apps functionality is available when you are connected to a 20Hz VBOX Sport via Bluetooth to an iOS device running iOS 7.0 or later.  If you are not connected to a VBOX Sport the app will use the 1Hz internal GPS of your Apple device with a corresponding reduction in accuracy.

Also available from iTunes are the Racelogic Performance Test and Diagnostics apps for VBOX Sport.

### 5/5 — Please add CARPLAY support! Otherwise very good app

*2020-12-11*

Racelogic has always bestnproducts in terms of hardware, but software wise you got to work more my friends! 

What seperates your product from good to perfect in my opinion is:

- APPLE CARPLAY support
- adaptability in portrait/landscape mode, or at least design all your apps for one mode, and not one for portrait and another for landscape only ;)

Otherwise, awesome job!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-10-06, version 2.6.0*

Load of rubbish, constantly says "searching gps" but nothing happens

### 1/5 — Poor

*2016-09-21, version 2.6.0*

Won't work with internal phone GPS.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2016-06-03*

Sneaky of Vbox, they are not clear in telling you that an expensive hardware device is required for this to even work

### 1/5 — 11 mph minimum speed?

*2015-04-15*

I would have liked to use this app to record autocross runs but there is an 11 mph minimum speed for setting the start/finish line. Not really a safe way to do that on an autocross course....or anywhere really.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!

*2014-11-30, version 2.2.2*

Supposedly will work without a Vbox Sport but the app just freezes on an image of the Vbox after trying to connect.
