Description - Version 3.4

Count the number of laps completed around any course

* New FIT Activity Saving Feature
* Can be used for circuit racing and motorsports

The Data Field has been designed to count the number of laps completed around any course, loop or circuit based on a start location and not a fixed distance.

The counter uses your GPS location to determine how many laps have been completed, and therefore can be used on any course.

The Data Field will constantly check your location against the start point. Each time you reach the start point, the number of laps will be increased.

To handle the inaccuracy of any GPS reading, the Data Field will increase laps once you are in a start zone. The default start zone is within a 15 metre radius, and will only check again which you've exceed twice this distance. The Data Field will indicate you are in this zone by surrounding your lap count in colons (:). This value can be adjusted in the configurable setting for the Data Field, and will be displayed before the activity starts. See the following link for more details http://bit.ly/1ODbOOp

If the course naturally crosses within the start zone after the start, the data field will accidentally increase the number of laps. Therefore reduce the start zone to a smaller value.

The Lap information recorded in the Garmin FIT File will match your standard device setting, and the not that calculated by the Data Field. However the Data Field will also add the record Lap information to the FIT File.

Please Note: The Data Field should only be used as a guide, and if the number of laps completed is critical to any event or competition, hSoftware is not responsible for any inaccuracy in the data.
