Step 2: Select Track Type

The next step is to assign the type of track in use for testing. Most all testing will be considered

the default setting of Closed Course. Open Course is typically used for events such as Autocross

and Hill Climbing, which is covered in the following section.

Step 3: Set Lap Start

As discussed in the previous section, the current data in view represents the GPS position of the

vehicle from the start until the end of recording. If you were to place the mouse cursor in the

Main Graph area, (insure GPS_MPH is still graphed and the entire run is in view) then left click

and drag the mouse curser through the Main Graph area, you can follow the location of the

vehicle in the GPS driving line data. However, there will be no lap data, until a start / finish line

is assigned.

To Set Lap Start, place the mouse cursor in the Main Graph area,

left click and move the vehicle location (as noted by the small X) in

the GPS map data until the approximate start / finish is located.

Next, simply select the Set Lap Start button. Just consider this

action the same as physically placing a beacon transmitter on the

start / finish line of the race course, except this is much easier.

In order to generate a GPS track map, the final step will be to view a lap and create the map

from that actual lap.

Step 4: Create GPS Map

To view a lap, locate the LAP NUMBER widow shown under Step 4. By using the Up / Down

arrows, the user can toggle through all of the laps contained within the run. To select a lap,

simply choose a lap that represents a complete, high speed lap. This lap will also be utilized to

generate segment timing, so choosing a high speed lap with the greatest lateral g forces, will

assist in the segmentation.

Now, select the Create GPS Trackmap button. This action now completes the GPS track

mapping process. As with many activities, the actual explanation of the track mapping

procedure appears extensive, while the actual process takes less than 30 seconds.
