![Question](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I have googled this and watched videos to no avail. I have decent data now for my weekend at COTA, but I foolishly want a track map where the corner numbers match the official track map. I have tried desperately to use the Modify Track Map after doing the Map -> New function is RS2Analysis 2.55.60, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to set the corners up correctly. There are "Divide", "Remove", "Remove all" and another button that toggles between "Straight,". "Corner 1", and "Corner 2", but I can't get a Corner 3 or Corner 4 for anything.
Alternative : does someone already have an MP file for COTA they could send me?
Second question : How can I avoid loading laps that are obviously too short - I thought I did this before, but now can't find it. When I look at a session I don't want a 0:18.223 second lap to be my "best lap" for that "test". I only want real laps. Is there some way to remove them after I have loaded them into RS2Analysis? Is there some way to ignore them during the import?
Thanks for any and all help...

I can't help you with the corner number, but instead may I suggest you divide your track maps in segments that will allow you to do segment analysis and look at best theoretical laps. You can set segments from brake zone (top speed before braking) to brake zone.
With respect to hiding sessions that are too short, simply click on the "Hide" tick mark when importing and only import the sessions that you want. If you want to hide individual laps, click on the Lap Manager tab and right click on the individual laps you want to hide. If you imported them already, click on the Test Database tab and double click on the test you want to remove.

Long story short on the segments- you can't.
For laps, right click on the short laps and make them I active. Delete short sessions.
If you have lots of short sessions, go into your dash configuration (you have an MXL2 right?) and set the start recording function to 800 rpm and 15 mph and you won't get all the start ups.

You would think someone would hack the MP filetype and make a good one for each track. You would also think that AIM would publish those, since they do something similar for the GPS manager. But I digress

It would be REALLY NICE if they had ONE set of criteria for STARTING recording and a SEPARATE ONE for stopping it. Having it SHARE that data is UNSMART.
But anyway, thanks as always for the help, and hopefully you and Jay and your families come up to Parade since it's not THAT far from you this year

Two other options that will help you out. When you are in the Lap Manager tab, on the top right, click the wrench button. Then select the top box for automatically disabling laps not coming from a lap marker. That will automatically deselect in and out laps, making your life a little easier.
For downloads, select the option to group all sessions from a day together. That way if you download after every session, even if you stop and it records it as a new session, the data will be put into 1 file.
I agree with Jerry on not downloading 1 lap sessions - unless you are having a GPS problem.

Great to see you again - every time we meet up, I learn something about AIM! ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Will you be at Road America?![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
That would be fantastic, but since I own a software company, I know how customer suggestions are sometimes handled ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Thanks!

So you _can_ get the track map to correspond to whatever you normally call them (Turn 1, 2, 3, 4, etc).
It's a little confusing, but Coroner 1 vs Coroner 2 by default maps to Left (blue) vs Right (red) and Straight is green. Each time you create a new segment, if you mark it as a Coroner, it will create a new turn (1, 2, 3, 4, etc)
The only thing you can't do is things like Turn 8 and then Turn 8a (like the esses @ Sears Point). For things like that, you have to either label both Turn 8 or deal with the numbering being off.
Divide = Adds a segment (turn or straight)
Remove = Removes a segment
Corner 1 = Left turn (blue)
Corner 2 = Right turn (red)
Straight = green
Unfortunately, AiM likes to make people click buttons to change the value rather then using a drop down. So to change the kind of segment, you have to click the Coroner 1, Coroner 2, Straight until it is labeled like you like it.
Once you create the map like you like it, be sure to save it. Then you can load it in other sessions for the same track so you don't have to fix it again.

James,
I will be at RA and I did send a suggestion that AIM create a stop criteria in the Parameters. AIM has been very responsive in the past, and your idea is a good one. We'll see.
