Android lap timer app

[Orderofchaos]

Anyone using Trackmaster lap timer app for android and if so it it any good, easy to use, worth the few euro etc?

I had it on the phone and used it while messing about on the mini bike and it seemed accurate enough for messing with.

Think for track use most people advise a bluetooth gps receiver that has at least 50Hz.

For the few euros I thought it was well worth it

Don't need anything too accurate for the track, I'm fairly slow

Yup, used it on my one and only trackday to date. i thought it gave great information for the few euros. gives you your laptimes, tells you what speed you are doing at all parts of the track and can do a replay of your lap (in a commodore 64 racing game style, view from the top)
I will use it again whenever i get down there again. might not be accurate enough if going into trackdays in a big way.

You don't need to use a receiver with it, you can use it as a standalone app with just your phone

serach ebay for Bluetooth GPS Receiver
not sure if you can get a 50Hz, 10Hz is about €50
Cheaper ones are 1Hz ( ie updates once per second ,)can be got for about tenner
sufficient for trackdays, unless you are looking to shave 10ths
receiver on bike, expensive phone in pocket !

there is also

for Nokia and others , not android
Works great with bluetooth receiver and any suitable phone , i use an old one with no sim

i just downloaded this for iphone, i havent tested it yet, its supposed to be most accurate with bluetooth transmitter but im going to chance it without one and see what its like. So far it looks excellent, has every european circuit including mondello!! will give feedback once i test it

Handy little app for anyone starting trackdays, shows track session overlayed with acceleration/deceleration,mph at each point of track, top speed, session time, g-forces.

I'm going to be using Trackmaster for next Monday.

I am going to put the phone into a clear plastic bag and then taping it to the top triple clamp.

The touchscreen still works that way and it should allow me to secure it sufficiently to prevent the braking and acceleration forces from sending it flying!

Jaysus, hope yous aren't paying for these apps lads! If you're in to supporting the developers just download it for free first then pay for the market version if it's any use.
