Use of laps in Land

WHAT TYPES OF LAPS ARE THERE?

There are two types of laps:

• Automatic laps: The track is divided into sections of equal size based on a fixed interval (every kilometer, every hour, etc.).

• Manual laps: These are sections of the track that are not necessarily the same size (distance or time). With manual laps, it’s the user who decides where to start a new lap.

HOW CAN I DISPLAY LAPS?

You’ll be able to see the laps (both manual and automatic):

• Overlaid on the map

• In the data tree

• On the listing of laps

HOW CAN I ANALYZE AUTOMATIC LAPS?

Thanks to Land, you’ll be able to see the automatic laps for your track from the comfort of your home and analyze them using graphs and comparison tables:

1. Open the track you want to analyze.

2. In the map window, open the context menu for the track and select ‘Laps > Autolaps’. Then decide whether to subdivide the track into laps based on time or distance:

• Autolaps by distance: By default, the track will be divided into 1-kilometer laps.

• Autolaps by time: By default, the track will be divided into 1-hour laps.

Note: To modify either of the two intervals above (for example, divide the track into 5-kilometer laps instead of 1-kilometer), change it directly by going into ‘Main menu > File > Options > Track > Autolaps’.

3. Land will also highlight each lap using a different color.

HOW CAN I ANALYZE MANUAL LAPS?

If the automatic laps aren’t enough to analyze your performance on the track, Land lets you create your own manual laps, meaning you can specify the start and end of each lap  to suit your needs.

1. Open the track you want to analyze.

2. In the map window, open the context menu over the point on the track where you want to start a new lap and select ‘Laps > Change of lap here’.

3. In addition, Land will highlight the new lap using a different color from the rest of the track.

Note: You can readjust or erase the area covered by a lap at any time by simply setting a new lap start and end point. To do so, press ‘Move lap start to this point’ or ‘Move lap end to this point’.

4. If you want to create more laps, repeat the above steps as often as you need.

WHAT FEATURES CAN I USE WITH LAPS?

In addition to creating and analyzing laps, Land offers the following options:

• Save lap: The selected lap will be saved as an independent track.

• Unify laps: All of the laps will be merged into a single track.

• Delete lap: The selected lap will be deleted and the two adjacent points will be joined using a straight line.

It couldn’t be easier. Now it’s time to practice.
