Question SmartyCam Info for COTA?

Jerry or Peter or anyone else using an AiM dash and SmartyCam:

Does anyone have a good COTA track map and coordinates for use in the GPS Manager? Would like to pre-load the data before I get to Austin for the Club Race. Any inputs would be very much appreciated.

And I suspect that TraqMate users would appreciate GPS coordinates as well for their units. Here's the info from the TraqMat site:

Latitude: 30.131743
Longitude: -97.639629
Heading: 127.0

Thanks to anyone having the data for the SmartyCam!

Can't attach the file to this post. PM me and I'll send it to you at your regular e-mail address.

Then, import this file to GPS Manager or SmartyManager for COTA map and start/finish.

Peter, one quick question for you.

If I have my SmartyCam connected via the 7-pin CAN cable to a CAN Hub that is in turn attached to the MXL Pista, is this connection scenario providing power to the SmartyCam via the CAN connection or do I need the CAN Hub that has an external power connection? I am using the 2M 7-pin cable to connect the camera to the CAN hub and this cable also has the external microphone integrated into it. I used to have some PDFs of the various connection scenarios, and now I cannot find them. Any pointers?

Just checking because I was not sure if the CAN expansion hub is capable of supplying sufficient power to the SmartyCam. If I *DO* need the powered hub, where can I get one? I can't find it at Pegasus nor on the Aim online store site. Thanks again for all your assistance!!

OK, thanks Matt! Want to make sure I don't have the SmartyCam run out of juice halfway through a race at COTA. I might need it - especially since I'm in the Poopy-Head, Pachinko-Ball Racing group! B))
