That's fantastic news - you can show me your best laps in my trailer.

Matt Romanowski

This thread and the ideas of handling Peter's things and Matt and Luigi alone in a trailer is making me very uncomfortable and upset.

If they would have just opened the border and freed our Canadian brethren we could have raced and all handled each other's things next month.

From a social distance of course.

Ok. Thanks Peter!

I'm hoping Garmin is able to crowd source this data that is up loaded to Garmin Connect to really improve the coaching. Could be a huge game changer.

ProCoach

There may be ways to do that coming.

My understanding of the limitations of Garmin Connect and this device are that Garmin Connect collects summary data logs and is uploaded at a 1 Hz refresh rate.

This works perfectly fine for running and biking, but the Catalyst refreshes much more quickly and at a minimum of 10 Hz.

Someone please upload another camera recording a session using this device so we can get a taste of what the coaching sounds like.

Is this coaching per session based? Does it learn from previous sessions that weekend or previous month if you were to return to that track?

Larry Cable

I'll try and capture one on Friday @ Sears...

LagunaFanatic

yes it learns from previous sessions, but “forgets“ after four days. Check out Garman catalyst Facebook page where I saw this information from Peter.

SUPER important to understand that there are SEVERAL different levels of voice coaching. It is a young lady...

None

Lap Times ONLY

Basic Coaching (enabled by default)

Advanced Coaching (requires another waiver acknowledgment).

Most users haven't even changed from the default. For anyone Advanced Solo or above, or club racers, use the Advanced unless it's too much for you.

Also, the most useful tool to me to instill consistency is to go to Session Review>Opportunities>pick a subset of ONE of the THREE opportunities presented and "Enable Voice Coach" to reinforce THAT opportunity.

I did do that and the unit got more verbose, but I do need to enable the advanced mode. Will hopefully be at WGI in about 3 weeks and very keen to drive with the unit there.

I also promised to let another driver check out my unit.

Hopefully there will be an update to store that info onto the SD card so its available when you go to that same track next time.

Sounds like this would supplement my Solo DL and SmartyCAM really well for the immediate feedback and quick post session analysis. The theoretical best lap video is awesome. That takes a lot of time to piece together with the AiM data and video. It would be cool if they could overlay the time of day in the theoretical best lap video then you could use those time marks to piece together video from another camera to get sound and in the case of SmartyCAM, data on video.
