Overview:
Slip-Angle's first automotive product, MapMaker, allows you to
view datalogging information collected during your autocross or track
runs in an intuitive way. You can use the mapping feature to
reproduce the path your car took, allowing you to visually associate
your data logging information with the point on course they are
occuring. MapMaker can easily be adapted to accept input from almost
any g-force or GPS based data logging system. Currently full support
for the Gtech-RR and Gtech Competition Pro is available, and
Edelbrock QwickData support is in the works. To request support for
your data logging system, please email
me. Slip-Angle Software is dedicated to meeting the needs of
racers and is open to feature suggestions and always improving its
product. Feel free to send an email
with any ideas, requests, or complaints you might have. You can
expect a prompt response.
Race Tested Results!
Identifying problems in your driving or car setup can be very difficult. Friends may give you
conflicting advice, and car setup changes may be too subtle for you to perceive. Datalogging can
help take a lot of the guesswork away. You can use the friction circle to identiy exactly what the flaws are in your driving.
You can compare runs to see which portions of the course you actually went slower on. You can analyze your sustained Gs to see
if changes have added or removed grip. After using my own software to evaluate my own driving, I could see that I was not fully
using the braking potential of my car. The very next day I made an effort to get on the brakes later and harder, resulting in my first ever
#1 pax result in the Houston region!
Free Demo!
The free download here will allow you to try the software only
with the included sample run. You can click below to purchase a
registration key allowing you to use the product fully for $19.95
The purchase entitles you to all future updates of the software for free, and naturally you will get higher priority on any feature requests.
Hardware Requirements:
I currently recomend the Gtech Pro-RR for datalogging hardware. It is effective, affordable, and has many useful features. I have found it to be very usable
in an autocross setting. You may purchase one at SoloPerformance
The older Gtech Competition Pro will also work and you may be able to find some used ones at an excellent price.
Special thanks to Jeff Hoye, and to the many early users who
helped find bugs in the software!
