Pro Edition removes those limitations and gives you every feature currently available from this app. It is available either as a low-cost in-app purchase, or as a separate app. Advisories and Disclaimers: Always drive safely. Intended for responsible use in a motorsports environment. Use at your own risk. Works on iPhone and compatible GPS-enabled iPad, iPad mini, and iPod touch devices. Devices which do not contain suitable GPS hardware may work when combined with a compatible external GPS device. Performance depends on good GPS reception conditions, and may vary. Features, capabilities, and pricing may differ between platforms and are subject to change at any time. OBD functionality is optional, and would require a supported OBD-II interface device and a compatible OBD-II compliant vehicle. See website for details. Features and capabilities can vary depending on your device and other circumstances. Use of Live Streaming feature is optional and requires a premium upgrade. Services are provided as-is, and are subject to change or discontinuation at any time. This functionality does have privacy implications. Please see this app's online documentation and http://Live.RaceRender.com before enabling its use. Use of Live Streaming service requires an Internet connection, and is therefore subject to your wireless carrier and/or Internet provider's data rates. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

About

Pole Lap Logger

Read full description

The lap you drove, read back to you. Pole Lap Logger records lap times, sector times, speed, G and your GPS line, then replays the whole lap on a map so you can see exactly where the time went. RECORDING • The phone you already have is enough to record a session — mount it with a clear view of the sky and its built-in GPS does the work. • For higher precision, pair a supported Bluetooth LE GPS receiver. It samples far more often than a phone, which sharpens lap and sector times. • Start/finish and sector lines are detected automatically as you cross them. Built-in layouts carry pit lines as well, so out laps and in laps stay separate and never spoil a best time. • Landscape or portrait, whichever way you mount the phone. ANALYSIS • Replay any lap on a satellite map and watch it trace the line you actually drove. Follow it flat in 2D, or tilt the camera to sit behind you. • Compare two laps at once. The delta builds and falls as they run, so you can see which corner gave the time away, and how much. • Plot speed, longitudinal G and lateral G against time or distance — or sync the two laps by position instead of time. • Enter your gearing — gear ratios, final drive and rev limit — and the map annotates each corner with the gear and engine speed, with rev-limit lines drawn on the graph. • A G meter with a trail shows how the load moved through the corner. • Your personal circuit best — the fastest you have driven there across every session saved on the device — is highlighted so you always have something to chase. You can also pin one earlier session and measure against that instead. CIRCUITS • Built-in layouts arrive with their start/finish, sector and pit lines already placed. • Anything not included, you draw yourself in a few minutes. Drop the lines on a satellite map and your circuit behaves exactly like a built-in one. • Just cruising? Record without a circuit and keep the trace anyway. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • Sessions are stored on the device. There is no account and no sign-in. • Export any session as GPX, CSV or NMEA and take it wherever you like. • Import files shared with you and open them in the app. • No advertising of any kind. FREE AND PREMIUM Recording, playback, comparison, graphs, the circuit editor and export are never limited. The free version keeps two saved sessions on the device. Premium removes that cap. Today that is its only effect; features added in future updates may be part of Premium. Premium is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time purchase that never expires. Prices are set per region and shown on this page and in the app. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings. Purchases are tied to the App Store account used to make them. BEFORE YOU START • Lap times and telemetry come from GPS. Accuracy depends on the receiver, the device and the conditions, and this app is not an official timing device. • Use it on closed courses, keep your eyes on the track and never operate the app while driving. • Do not rely on any figure it shows for decisions that affect your safety.
