Garmin Automated Coaching

I understand the very exciting coaching aspects of the device, and it’s worth every penny just for that, but can you also use it to simply record and download a full HPDE session, along with normal data such as a track map; speed; rpm; gear selection; accelerator/brake usage; g-meter, etc, to say YouTube?

My mistake. Didn't read close enough.
No. No car sensor specific information is available.
While RPM and gear will not come through, accelerator/brake usage, calculated by accelerative forces actually measured by the device, forms the basis of analysis and AI coaching.
This device measures end-result of driver control inputs and the forces acting on the car. That is all that is necessary to formulate goals and objectives to leverage opportunities for improvement, in my experience.
I will test today the export options.

I plan on velcro-ing this small BT receiver to the side of my helmet and plugging in the Sampson headphones.

There are some inexpensive SkullKandy BT earbuds that have a volume control that hangs down, can be paired with the Catalyst and fit well under the helmet that a friend tested this morning.

I am very interested in this product as a novice moving in to the intermediate class. It could be a useful tool when I lose the instructor in the passenger seat. Based on everything that I understand that it does, I am sold...
However, as a cyclist, I also happen to be well immersed in the Garmin world with a Fenix watch and many ANT+/Bluetooth sensors. Although it would all just be a bonus and not really required, I am interested in whether it records/synchronizes any biometric data. It is not clear to me from the marketing info whether it has any of these functions. If not, it seems like a real missed opportunity for simple integration within the Garmin ecosystem. For example, pairing a HR sensor would be an easy add. Also, it seems like adding vehicle telematics like throttle and rpm would be really simple with an OBD sensor. The Garmin VIRB does that already. Maybe I am trying to turn this device into too much but these integrations seem somewhat obvious to me...

For helmets like Stilo with built in headphones, certainly there is some sort of cable with a male end that plugs into the helmet and a female mini-jack on the other? That would allow us to plug a Bluetooth receiver directly into the helmet, taking advantage of the comfort and noise cancellation we already have in place.

I know there is huge headroom in the hardware for perhaps this sort of (biometric) expansion in the future.
I do think it’s important for them not to incorporate “feature creep,” but by no means is this device fixed in its capability, at least from a hardware standpoint. Garmin is a big company, with lots of resources. More than any other player in this market...

My initial stock order is arriving tomorrow with accessories to adapt to a wide variety of applications (street car, transferring between cars and dedicated competition cars).
I will have them at NASA Mid Atlantic at VIR on Friday and will ship orders I have received and those made over the weekend on Monday. Already ordered a second round.
For those interested in buying and collecting one at the Summit Point Club Race, please contact and work with Evan Close now. I’ll send them to him.

Just signed up for a track day at Homestead this Sunday and will try it out. Question - we are going to run both the full infield course and the modified Roval road course, alternating during the day. Does the Garmin have multiple configurations loaded for each track that are separate from one another? How do I prevent it from getting confused if I run the infield a couple of times and then switch over to the Roval?

You don’t even have to make a new track. It’s in the database.
As a matter of fact, the Garmin track database is the most complete I’ve ever seen. Natch for a mapping company...
This is about 20% of my support calls...
AiM, VBOX, MoTeC, MM, Cosworth, Apex Pro, Traqmate and others, more complete than all of them...
