The VBOX Laptimer App works with your VBOX Sport. VBOX Sport uses a high-accuracy GNSS receiver to enhance the capabilities of your Apple device. When connected to a VBOX Sport, the Laptimer app can use its 10 Hz GNSS data stream transmitted via Bluetooth.
By collecting GNSS data 10 times per second, the VBOX Sport provides a level of accuracy that is currently unheard of with iPhone and iPad apps. The VBOX Laptimer app uses this data to provide you with accurate lap times and predictive lap times.
You can use your Apple device to display live driver feedback, such as your current speed, your current lap time, your predicted lap time, or a list of previously logged lap times
The VBOX Laptimer App also works with the internal GNSS of your iPhone or iPad. When used standalone, the app will use 1 Hz GNSS data from the iOS device's internal GNSS engine.
GNSS Connection Indicator
Note: The GNSS connection indicator refers to the GNSS connection for the VBOX Sport. If you are using the app standalone, with the internal GNSS engine from the iOS device, the GNSS connection indicator will indicate no connection.

In addition to the circuits in the Racelogic database, you can also create custom tracks on the Laptimer app. To create a custom track, select the ‘Create Custom Track’ option under the ‘user configurable’ section of the main track selection page. First you need to add a start/finish point manually and the app will create a custom circuit map.
Note: The vehicle speed must be above 18 km/h before you can set the start line.
As soon as you cross the start/finish line, the map image will be displayed in the right-hand side of the screen. The map will also be saved for later selection through the ‘custom track’ section. You can rename or delete custom maps by pressing the arrow button to the right of the track name.
When you cross the start line for the first time, it will trigger a reference lap creation. When the start line is crossed again, the app will show you a live comparison time to the reference. At the end of each lap, the final lap time will be shown for the number of seconds set in the ‘Laptime display time’ section in the settings menu.
Note: Lap times faster than the reference will automatically be used as the new reference lap.
The results screen shows you the achieved lap and split times during a session. To make it easy to compare, the fastest lap (the reference lap) is highlighted in white while split times are colour-coded. Red is slower and green is faster than the same sections in the reference lap.
You can zoom in and out by pinching the screen over the results.

| TheSet S/F linelets you set a new start line. When this is confirmed, the app will default to the Laptime screen and the timing will start.Note: The minimum speed required to set a start point is 18 km/h. |
| Pressing theReset databutton will clear all lap timing data from the app's memory, including any stored reference lap. |
| TheMax speedlets you toggle the speed mode between showing the ‘real speed’ live value and a maximum speed achieved value. Pressing this button will move the screen view to speed mode. |
| TheResultssection displays all lap times achieved in a session. The fastest lap (the reference lap) is highlighted in green. You can select or deselect laps you want to see on a graph and to export. |

Lap time: There will be an audible announcement of the completed lap time when the star/finish line is crossed.
Delta time: There will be an audible announcement of the delta time when the star/finish line is crossed.
One shot mode is for use at sprint-style events.
- Create a custom circuit
- Enable ‘one shot mode’ in the main settings menu.
- Define a finish point.
When you have set a finish point, the app will instruct you to ‘stop at start line’. When the vehicle is stationary, the app will start counting down from 10. When the countdown has been completed, the next detected movement will trigger the lap timing. When you cross the finish line for the first time, the app will store a new custom circuit for future use.
