Descrição
This appKart Laps turns your Garmin into a GPS lap timer for go-karting.
Set the start/finish line once and every lap after that is timed automatically – no button pressing while you drive.
HOW IT WORKS
- Press START in the pits and drive your out-lap.
- Press LAP as you cross the start/finish line. That sets the line and starts lap 1.
- From then on, every crossing is detected automatically from GPS, with the crossing time interpolated between GPS fixes for better precision.
- Press START to pause, then Save, Resume or Discard.
ON THE WATCH
- Large current-lap timer
- Last lap and best lap always on screen
- Live speed and heart rate
- Each finished lap flashes for 4 seconds with its gap to your best
- New best lap: green time plus a double vibration, so you know without looking down
- GPS status dot (red / yellow / green)
AFTER THE SESSION
- Summary screen: best lap (and which lap it was), average lap, number of timed laps and top speed
- Scrollable list of every lap, with the gap to your best
- Saved to Garmin Connect with the full GPS track, heart rate and speed
- Custom fields in Garmin Connect: Lap Time on every lap, plus Best Lap and Timed Laps for the session
- Your out-lap is recorded but kept out of your timed laps, best and average
SMART LAP DETECTION
- Detects the line anywhere within 25 m either side of where you set it, so racing lines and track width don't matter
- Ignores crossings in the wrong direction, while stationary, or less than 15 seconds after the previous lap
- You must get 30 m away from the line before the next lap can count, so waiting near the line or in the pits never adds fake laps
- Uses multi-band GPS where your watch supports it
- Screen touches are ignored so steering-wheel vibration can't interrupt your session
TIPS
- Wait for the green GPS dot before you head out.
- Set the line on the main straight, away from bridges or tunnels.
- Wear the watch snug, above the wrist bone, for better heart-rate readings.
Accuracy depends on watch GPS and is typically within a few tenths of a second per lap. For official race timing, use the track's transponder system.
Supported devices: Forerunner 265, Forerunner 265S.
