Hi all,
I'm having a terrible time getting the maps from this past weekend
to look anything like the course. The course was a one and a half
lap affair, where we re-traced part of the route. Anyway, I can't seem
to adjust the map to get anything to line up properly (or get the
slalom down the middle of the loop). There was a significant amount
of elevation change with the center of the course being the high part;
is that a likely cause of the error? What's a bit odd (to me, anyway)
is that while the overall shape of the maps is somewhat similar (that
is, I can recognize general features like the sharp left hander and the
slalom), the two maps are quite differently shaped; the radii of the turns
seems to be quite variable, etc. I hope that all made sense.
On another note, I still seem to be having problems getting good
traces. We got four runs last weekend, but the Palm recorded five
runs. However, the first three make no sense at all - they look like
they were probably my drive from the paddock area to the start grid
and back to paddock area. Any guesses as to what I've got set wrong?
I assume that its an Autostart problem of some sort, but I would have
thought that if it was going to record my easy drive up to the grid,
that it would have captured my runs as well since I launch a lot harder
then. What's strange is that without making any changes in the settings
the last two runs seemed to be captured properly (more or less, see above).
Sorry that I don't have the data files with me, but if its useful I can
post them tomorrow.
Thanks in advance,
John Lye
