Anyone have the start/finish coordinates for Laguna Seca? I want to get the Traqmate setup ahead of time and not have to worry about it...

Thanks Kenny, but a Traqmate requires the exact coordinates of the start/finish line and the heading. For example, Thunderhill is 39.538530, -122.331255 and 180 degree heading (running CCW).

I thought you just tapped a button when you crossed the line.

Yes, you can simply hit the button as you cross the line, but you can also enter the info via the computer link and not have to worry about it Hitting the button means keeping the display handy for a lap and then paying attention and hitting the button while zooming down the front straight. If I can avoid that distraction easily, I will. If not, I'll do it. At least it only has to be done once for any track. After that it's stored in memory.

Hell, I'll probably just assign the job to my first student - that way I have nothing to worry about.

I've only seen one in use once. The ability to pre-program/store the S/F line is a good feature.
