Soon RaceChrono will have export functionality to software like Google Maps. Maybe also for some other data logging and analyzing software, if I can find any good ones that are freely available. Stay tuned for new version soon.
Actual RaceChrono for PC will not exist in near future.
Wow. I didn't realise the raw NMAE data is that hard to read. It would be great if there was a utility somewhere on the net to make it a little more readable?
Like that separates the individual laps and put columns at the top so we know what fields are what. Does anyone know if such a thing exists?
I do not have the time at the moment to go through the lists myself, but have found some promising places to search for a suitable program... If anyone finds smth, please let us all know...
Hazza, I don't know such program, but there's some pretty good NMEA instructions around if you want to do some programming: NMEA FAQ. But getting lap times out of that is a bit trickier, since you'd need to do all kinds of calculus.
It would be great to have support for the "real" PC analyzing software like MoTeC i2, but I guess they will not give me the format which seems quite cryptic.
Skyvia, the new v0.41 beta includes a Google Earth export functionality. It's still early version but try it out and tell me what it's lacking. At least it should display straight and corner speeds, and maybe the traveled route should be colored by the speed / altitude / etc.
Hazza, try out the CSV export. It generates a comma separated values of the GPS plots. Also the exported file includes data of crossed trap lines where you can calculate the lap times.
RaceChrono v0.90 beta (see the news) can export VBox (*.VBO) format now. You can use any software that reads that format, for example http://www.performancebox.co.uk/dlsoftware.html
The start/finish line is not exported there so you still need to add it manually. Also it's not very good in calculating lap times, but has nice big graphs etc.
I think this could be useful: http://hackawii.com/wiimote-car-acceleration-monitoring/
If somebody can use a wiimote as acceleration logger it could be easy to implement also for racechrono.
In my case it would be great to connect BT to the wiimote and later join an adjust with the gps dataloggertracks.
Then you have everything!
I´m also looking for that N95...
WOW, Antti, that's a major release. :) And the graphic visualization is very close to what I need, congratulations and keep up the good work.
As for the data analysing on a PC, Performancebox is great, but looks more "inclined" to... performance testing, unsurprisingly. I'd like a more track-oriented approach - for instance, a graphic view of where I'm braking and accelerating, like green when accelerating, yellow when coasting and red when braking. All superimposed on the track layout. But that's being picky, I know - do any of you know such a tool?
Hello Edoardo, I'm very glad you like the new release. I don't know such software you described, but maybe I can add this feature easily to RaceChrono for future versions! I think it's great idea. It actually would be much more useful than the current track layout drawn with speed color. Added to my to-do list.
A shame. I was hoping to use the emulator function to test out the app. I've used it once before on a friends phone, If it suits my needs I'll probably by an S60 phone to use it
I have collected some data and track information, just want to look at the analysis options.
You could have a look at OakGPS (http://www.oakgps.com/index_eng.html) as NMEA analysis software. I reviewed my recent trip to the 'Ring with it. You can colourise the map to show braking and acceleration.
I recommend using the free software DANAS made available in http://www.i2m.it/Download.html
This and 'an excellent software for telemetry. !!!!!
Law files. Dat must then convert into file.nmea. Dat with the software GPS PARSER.
Hi, congratulation for this nice piece of software.
I tested racechrono at Misano World Circuit and I was so impressed that I decided to write a simple PC application to load exported '.csv' files and analyze data.
Thank you and keep up the good work! :-)

I'm also interested to analyze my lap data in more detail. Does anyone have any suggestions what would be a proper software for this?

Gps Parser convert file .nmea in file.dat !!
gps Parser is downloadable in my site!!.. http://www.webalice.it/amax54/search.htm
dowload in:
www.java.com
first sorry cause I´m from Brazil and my english isn´t soo god !!!
where i can find this software ???
