Auto GPS lap timing

Timing repeated tracks, without pressing buttons.

VelocityLap automatically learns your course, detects repeated passes, and times laps using GPS. Built for watersports, buoy courses, figure‑8 runs, and speed sessions where start and finish are virtual.

Currently in beta testing for iPhone. Android support planned/tested too.

Made for real sessions on the water.

No fixed start/finish hardware. No button pressing every lap. VelocityLap uses location, speed, repeated passes, and virtual gates to make lap timing practical.

Auto‑learn course

Ride through the course a few times. The app looks for a repeatable timing point and locks a virtual gate.

Virtual lap gate

Lap timing starts when you cross the learned gate again in the correct direction, with tolerance for GPS drift.

Map every lap

Review each track on a map with lap time, GPS points, and full session history.

Supports different track shapes.

From simple two‑buoy turns to more complex repeated courses.

2‑Buoy Oval

Fast repeated laps around two markers.

Figure‑8

Crossing center patterns with direction checks.

3‑Buoy Triangle

Triangle style race course timing.

Custom Loop

For 4+ buoy or free‑form repeated tracks.

How it works.

1

Start tracking

Enable tracking once before your session. Keep the phone safe and let GPS run.

2

Ride the course

VelocityLap watches for repeated passes through the same course pattern.

3

Review laps

Each lap is saved with time and shown on the map for quick comparison.

Privacy, simple and clear.

VelocityLap uses GPS/location data to record your session, detect laps, and show your tracks on the map.

Location data

GPS points, speed, timestamps, and lap information may be saved locally on your device so you can review your sessions.

Local timing

The app focuses on recording and timing laps on your phone during a session.
