Snowing right now, so am at my desk trying to figure this app out. Unfortunately, my home track, Mid-Ohio, is not on it. So, I tried the Add Track button, via Map. Ehh, doesn't seem to work. Either that or I don't know what the heck I'm doing. Is the only real way to add a track map is by actually driving the track and have the app draw the map?

Thanks!!

Yes, unfortunately... you actually have to 'goto the track'.. .and then add it. It's 'very easy' once you are 'on track'... but is not the most user friendly if not already setup.

Ie, I would like the ability to use 'google maps' feature... from the pits, and 'designate' the start finish line... but you have to actually 'drive' over whatever section you want to be the start finish.

Once you set it up though... it's 'set it and forget it'... it will remember it, and record accordingly.

However, it will never 'show' the track video while 'recording' since it isn't a pre-recorded track. So the screen will just be black, with some recording message on it until your session is completed.

Not the best, had it on my GT4.

The app is not very useful if your local track is not in the database. Even when you record your track it will still not show you lap times, data, etc in real time as it blacks the screen out. It is annoying as the latest version actually keeps the telemetry in sync w/ the video better now so it would be a reasonable solution to video and monitoring your lap times as you drive. I don't get why they don't give you an option to accept liability and then show your lap time as you drive as it would make the app much more useful.

That's incorrect.

After the app learns the new track, is it possible to take a video with your camera as you drive and synch and embed the video with the telemetry?

Not sure what you mean, but the app does that automatically. No need to record separately as it uses your iPhone as the track data logger and camera.

Agree

JJ99c2, not sure if you've used the latest one... but once you've done a session, you can apply a 'ghost car'... and it will work as a predictive timer, showing Green if current lap is ahead of best lap, or red if current lap is behind last lap.

I believe it does have this feature, as it has an Import and export feature with and without video. So it seems you could export the 'data/telemetry' and put it 'over' your 'GoPro' video for example. I have not done this, but it seems capable of doing it.

While I do think the Corvette PDR is far more convenient, the app is pretty good when you get used to it. You can send from your iphone without any problems, just have to confirm/export first. Here's my recent video from last weekend, which I emailed to a few friends, and downloaded to the laptop/youtube:

Got it. Thanks!

NICE!!! Can't wait for the DE season to open here!

Thank you for tip on using a ghost car. It sounds like you can see if your are ahead/behind but not actual lap time? I had contacted Porsche after trying to use the app on a track not in the database and they sent me instructions with a note saying you can't see live view unless you are on a known track -- snip from pdf below:
