Yes, my wife and I use the PALM to store our runs. I keep my laptop booted up
in the GEEZ software at the grid space. Right after the run, we pull the
palm, drop it in the cradle and download the run, it takes a minute or so. I
put the palm back in the car, so it is all set for the next run.
<< What do you look for when you are looking at your run? Just the ratings
(usage, aggressiveness)? If you look at the course map, what are looking
for? Do you have a favorite setting for the map colors? Do you use the
default acceleration map or the usage map or a custom color map? How do you
compare your run with a codriver or another car at the event? >>
My screen is not great out in the sun, so the color maps don't help too much.
I bring up the stats, instant page, and look the corner entry and exit
speeds, and also useage at many parts of the course. My wife and I compare
runs to see where one of us is faster or at higher usage, and try to work on
those areas. I have found she has higher speeds than me in many places,
usually corner entry, but I had higher useage at the corner exit with higher
acceleration sooner. Looking over the data, we can combine where we both were
fast and it certainly helps.
When we are not swapping drivers, like at Nationals, we look where our useage
is bad, and try to figure out why. I find I chicken out into corners very
often and take off too much speed. Having GEEZ slap you in the face with the
truth can make you fix those areas.
