VBOX Mini LapTimer is pre-loaded with a track database that contains the start/finish coordinates for more than 800 tracks worldwide. You can find a list of the included tracks in the circuit database section of our website. 

When the unit has acquired satellites, it will check the GPS location against Racelogic’s track map database and load the available layouts.

You must use this menu option to select the layout you are driving to allow the VBOX Mini LapTimer to load the correct start/finish line. 

If there are no start/finish lines available for your location, you can set them manually or load them from an .SPL file.
