Features

LapTimer is enhanced continuously. Harry's LapTimer Rookie, Petrolhead, and Grand Prix editions are available. Any version can be upgraded using Apple‘s In App Purchase (see Products page).

Our ambition is to provide you with the best GPS tool available on smartphones. LapTimer on iPhone is based on the robust GPS Engine known for years on the PalmOS versions. This GPS Engine was enhanced to fully integrate with the iPhone's acceleration sensors. The front end of LapTimer on iPhone is completely new development featuring a perfect, and beautiful iPhone look & feel. LapTimer uses both the internal GPS or external accessories providing GPS by NMEA. The later option allows much improved accuracy (see GPS page) and reliable receiving conditions. Please check the Compatibility page for supported external GPS and OBD devices.

'Doing some data recording' seems to be a simple task in the beginning. Most users diving into the world of LapTimer come with an experience from 'all in one solutions' - these small gray boxes with very limited functionality. Although these solutions are designed on purpose, they need to be limited as they miss the rapid innovation, connectivity, and versatility current smartphones show.

Compared to this all in one solutions, your iPhone is a really high-powered computer! Combine it with Harry’s Lap Timer software and you can quickly and cheaply get your hands on the world-class & incredibly feature-rich GPS lap timer. This can be extended in many ways to give you the best possible information and feedback about your on-track performance.

This page gives you an overview on the feature groups. For more details visit LapTimer Documentation and our Harry's GPS Suite Forum.
