PDR questions

How long does yours record. Mine does 393 min. I first got it going with a 16 mb card. Then switched to a 64 card. The time did not change.

How do you get it to recognize the track you are on. Or does it show up after a few laps.

If my memory serves me right I get 600+ mins with a 64 SD card. The GPS plots the track automatically. But if u want lap time data you need to mark start finish line on the PDR screen.
PS It is all in the manual

Looks like the car didnt like my card. I have a lexar now and it is working better.
And yes I did read the manual. I have a large circle in my neighborhood. Did a start and finish. Didnt show where I drove. I will keep trying. I assume I did something wrong.

You have to go into the PDR and change the video overlay to “track”.

I think mine is around 1600 minutes with a 64gb card? Just needed special software to format correctly because windows can't format that large of an SD card to FAT32 through the native disk formatting tool.

As for the start/finish and track map, you have to do multiple loops of the same course to get it to show the track map in the corner of the video. Don't remember how many laps it takes, but the first time I used it on a track I think I was 3 or 4 laps in before the map was displayed.

You might be able to pull the video file up in the cosworth toolbox software and see where you drove, but not sure if it maps anything prior to learning the loop you're driving. Cosworth software can be found here: http://www.cosworth.com/toolbox/

I've had my car like 10 months and haven't even put a SD card in mine lol...guess I need to do that.

How long does it take Cosworth to reply with a software link? I submitted a week ago and I haven't received a reply.

Would be longer if I didn't have drone videos on it too...

128gb (still trying to get the 256gb working)

Yeah I was able to get the 128 to work, but the 256 never reads (tried quite a few filesystems). Now it's in the phantom 4, so I'll try it after I dump what's on it again...

I'd be interested in seeing what your max number of minutes is without other stuff (because I am past 3100 with a 128gb and stuff on it).

How much other stuff do you have in it (at least half?)

Thanks!

Can the PDR be retro fitted by dealer if the car was not ordered with it?
