This feature allows you to save a reference lap for future use. Insert an SD card into the VBOX LapTimer and use the menu options shown below. Note that the vehicle must be stationary to make this transfer. You can read more about saving reference laps here.
To load a reference lap file stored from a previous session, you put the desired file onto an SD card and load the card into the VBOX LapTimer.
