Track not listed

Post by James Crivellone »

I am racing at Pacific Raceways (WA) this weekend and that track is not listed in the database.

I'd like to start testing the telemetry, and this is the only track for the next month that is in range of T-Mobile. Will everything still work? Can I simply have it show raw GPS locations?

There is supposed to be an 'ad-hoc' event that creates by default if your telemetry unit is transmitting data. I haven't seen it though. I was able to get it to connect earlier, but i'm trying it again now and I can't even get it to connect.

James,

Correct. If you create the device and start transmitting, it will create an ad-hoc event that will just display your current location. I believe we're working on explicitly creating an ad-hoc event, as well.

Currently when you create an event on www.race-capture.com
The last item you fill in is the location

(Mid-Ohio and NJMP are already in the venue list)

Please make a note here if you come upon a track that doesn't have a map already drawn.
Thanks!

Mid-Ohio

The Mid Ohio map was particularly poor and has been updated.

Thanks. BTW, here is a list of tracks in the US and if you click on them, you can get address and other info (I even have Lat/Long in there as well, let me know if you want to see that).

FWIW the ad-hoc track is exactly what us auto-crossers need... No two days have the same layout, so a library of maps is not useful.

With an ad hoc track that works well, you are well on the way to being competitive with SoloStorm tossing the data online is way more attractive than having it stuck in the device. With your system I could bring a tablet with a large display to review data on and not need to squint at my phone!

Then all you need is an integration with sony action cam video and I'll be in heaven :).
