VBOX LapTimer is pre-loaded with a track database that contains the start/finish coordinates for more than 800 tracks worldwide. You can find a list of the included tracks in the circuit database section of our website.
When the unit has acquired satellites, it will check the GNSS location against Racelogic’s track map database and load the available layouts.
If you are at a track that has more than one layout, you must use this menu option to select the layout you are driving to allow the VBOX LapTimer to load the correct start/finish line.
If there are no start/finish lines available for your location, you can set them manually or load them from an .SPL file.

In this sub-menu, you can configure how VBOX LapTimer’s logging is triggered. There are three logging options.
Note: You cannot configure logging mode when the LapTimer is used as an OLED. In this case you need to do the configuration in the connected unit’s software e.g. Video VBOX Setup.
Logging Mode
You can define the mode and speed that triggers the start and stop of logging.
