There have been reported instances where VBOX LapTimer will freeze every time it is powered and connected to GPS.

The way to rectify this is to perform a GPS Coldstart by following the instructions below:

Once COLDSTART has been selected, quickly connect the GPS antenna to VBOX LapTimer.
If the GPS coldstart is successful, leave the VBOX LapTimer powered for 15 minutes, ensuring the GPS antenna is unobstructed and has a clear view of the sky.
