Track detection and the coach briefing
Last updated 21 days ago
LapperSnapper knows where you are. When you arrive at a circuit and start a session, the app matches your GPS position against its track database and sets everything up for you.
What track detection does
- Names the session after the circuit automatically.
- Uses the real start/finish line for lap detection, so lap times are consistent with the timing board.
- Connects the session to your history at that track, powering personal bests and progression.
No setup is required at known circuits. If you're somewhere the app doesn't recognise — a brand-new track or a temporary layout — it still records and detects laps from your driving.
The coach briefing
The coach briefing is a Pro feature — it needs a Pro subscription plus session history at this track. Track detection and basic lap timing stay free for everyone; only the corner-focus briefing itself is Pro.
When the track is recognised and you have history there, the briefing names the track and the corner most worth focusing on by voice, and shows how much time is on the table there in an on-screen line during the session.
It turns your previous sessions into a plan for this one: instead of just driving laps, you go out with a target. During the session, the HUD keeps the focus corner in view.
