TrackMaster for Android based phone...has anyone tried this?

I have an Adroid based phone (EVO) and came across this app.
It seems similar to Harry's Lap Timer.
Has anyone used this product?

Now I'm curious if this will work. I want any app which would make Boss ownership more pleasureable.

Yes, I use it. I couple it with the application "Torque" and an OBDKey to get vehicle data as well.

I have found that Trackmaster gives more accurate times if you only include a start/finish split. Otherwise it makes it difficult to marry up the data from Torque.

If you have an android phone, buy this app.

Here is a video of laptimes from Trackmaster and data from Torque, overlaid onto video of the run using RaceChrono2Avi. Again, the data is a little wonky since it's tough to marry up the way I had things set up, but I hope to improve on this in the future.

So far I haven't used Trackmaster for driver improvement (just got to use it this one session on a friend's car to test the functionality), although I hope to gain some insight into my areas for improvement at my upcoming track event on Labor Day weekend.

There will be more videos after that, as well.

I think I might go to west on Aug 20th, I'll try Harry's out, but I don't have the plx for all the nifty ecu data.Wish the plx could grab steering angle.

Agreed on the steering angle. I wish I could get that with mine as well.

Overall, however, this is still a workable system. It's not as elegant or as easy to integrate as say, TraqMate, but it doesn't cost a grand (minimum), either.

Total investment for me was under $200.
