‣ Support for user selectable favorite views
‣ Navigation structured by Prepare / Race / Analyse pattern replacing tab bar
‣ Reworked Trip, Timer, Speedo, Classic, Racer, Acceleration, and Satellites
View to benefit from space freed up [availability of views depends on
LapTimer edition]
‣ New top level analytic views available: recent laps and system health status
User Interface Enhancements
‣ Completely new Engine View showing tons of engine data (OBD) [GrandPrix]
‣ Calculation of number of remaining laps based on tank capacity and consumption
‣ Expand / Collapse of sections in Lap List, Add-ons List, and Checklists
‣ Updated and a lot nicer Maps View
‣ New assistant style for Define User, Autocross, New Track [tbd]
‣ Reworked coloring scheme for best laps and time made good / lost
‣ Redesigned icon set and further addition of iPhone6 Plus resolution graphics
‣ Tons of refinements of user interface to provide an even nicer, simpler,
and more convenient experience
Apple Watch support
‣ Display current, gap, and last lap time on an Apple Watch paired
‣ Support for some one-button-push actions to remote control LapTimer
Video and Overlay Features
‣ Full support for Sony's line of cams: MultiCam operation [GrandPrix]
‣ GoPro's line of HERO cams is now officially supported: HERO3/3+/4 [GrandPrix]
‣ Improved preview for external cams, optimized connection making [GrandPrix]
‣ For easy video overlaying, footage from external cams is transferred
automatically between action cam and LapTimer now [GrandPrix] [tbd]
‣ Several improvements to video overlays, e.g. time display, enhanced
configuration options [Petrolhead]
‣ Display of heart beat rate if available from Health Kit [GrandPrix]
New Accelerometer Support
‣ Completely reworked accelerometer calibration
‣ Besides individual calibration, LapTimer offers presets for LHD, RHD, video,
and motorbike use cases
‣ For those with a permanent mount, individual calibration can be locked
‣ No recalibration when device orientation is changed
‣ Support for flipped lineal and lateral acceleration
‣ New Sensor list section for inertial measurement units (like Accelerometer)
‣ Added display of calibration status to several views
New Sensor Support
‣ Added full support for Autosport Labs RaceCapture/Pro MK2 device; this
sensor delivers 50 Hz GPS and 50 Hz OBD; NB: as long as only Bluetooth
is supported by ASL, a BT to WiFI bridge is required; contact us to get
more information [GrandPrix]
‣ Added full support for Automatic OBD adapter [tbd]
‣ Added display and health check for GPS disturbances using Kp-Index
‣ Added support for Bluetooth Low Energy devices (GPS and OBD)
‣ For those designing their own OBD solution, a "read only" mode has been added
allowing to stream in any ELM327 replies without complex (and slow) request
and reply patterns
‣ Several improvements to sensor connection making and data handling
‣ Groups of sensors not used can be disabled altogether; as an example,
all WiFi sensors can be disabled - which reduces system load
Enhanced Analytics
‣ Shows heart beat information overlaid to Laps (max per lap) and Charts
in general (requires some Health Kit compatible accessory) [GrandPrix]
‣ Touching a lap in Laps View (bar chart), gives you a quick look into lap
details now; a transition to the full Lap Details View is available too
‣ Longitudinal and lineal acceleration graphs show lineal and longitudinal
acceleration as a dotted line now allowing trail breaking analysis
‣ Added adaptive path simplification to charts improving display speed of high
update rate recordings for very long tracks
Improved Motorbike support
‣ Much improved handling of lean angles for motorbikes
‣ Support for measured lean angle / lateral acceleration based on down force
Model / Import / Export Enhancements
‣ New vehicle types supported (speedboat, jetski, ski)
‣ Added vehicle data lookup provided by Edmunds
‣ Completely reworked vehicle data handling and import / export
‣ Added support for compressed Google Earth files (.kmz)
‣ Further improvements to import (e.g. all caps allowed for .VBO etc)
‣ Added OBD (rpm and throttle) information to VBO export (and import)
System and Refactoring
‣ Full 64 bit support making LapTimer integrate a lot better into iOS
‣ Raised minimum iOS version requirement to iOS7.1
‣ Cleaned up code and removed all iOS6 and older compatibility stuff
‣ Removed single density artwork
‣ Extensive profiling and performance tuning
Bugfixes
‣ and - needless to say - dozens of smaller bugfixes and improvements
