It is recommended to generate track layout for new tracks you visit as it will allow lap stretching. Lap streching is used to harmonize lap distances.
Track map is generated by using distance and lateral acceleration, so these needs to be measured/logged to be able to generate the track.
Track map for a single track needs to be generated only once. Generated track layout is stored in your computers local storage.
How to generate track map
Track generator settings
Setting
Description
Lap
Select the lap what is used to generate the track map
Distance channel
Select the channel which used for distance data. By default this is 'Calculated distance'. The base channel 'Calculated distance' calculation is defined in app settings.
Lateral acceleration channel
Select the channel which used for lateral accelaration data. By default this is 'Acceleration Y'.
Distance vs acc ratio
This variable is used to manipulate the track shape to give better representation of the track. Typically values between 1 and 2 are normal. On average 1.5 gives good shape.
Rotate
Used to rotate the track map.
Tips
Try different laps to see which one gives the best shape. Typically it's best to start with the fastest laps.
To generate the best quality track map, try to run medium speed laps without sudden changes either in steering or throttle.
