7.4.2
2019-11-26
Added Gear estimator for OBDII data:
Editor interface makes it easy to fine tune the gear estimator, and saves a set of gear ratios to your phone as the defaults
To set up your gear ratios:
1. Open a session that includes OBDII data from the car you want to configure, best if the session includes high speed straights and start and stop down to zero speed.
2. On the map view, adjust the color channel to ‘Gear’
3. A small gear button appears in the top right corner, select it
4. Slide gear ratios controls to overlap predictions with the bands of data. When you are done, each band of data should be a single color.
5. Save and return - check out the map view, tapping on a few places where you know the gear you expect, to ensure the values are correct
6. The settings are saved to the device used to create them, so they will be the defaults next time you open any session on the same device
Other:
Bug fix for screen locking after adding a second/third session in data review
Bug fixes for gear editor where gear ratio settings did not seem to save

New OBDII interface!
Pair the APEX Pro App to OBDII over Bluetooth and receive valuable data from your ECU. A new OBDII Dashboard view allows you to display live data and select which data will be logged during a driving session. Gauges on the dashboard can be rearranged + a large landscape view provides higher visibility.
See what is causing your ‘check engine light’ to turn on, go online to find solutions, reset the light once the problem is solved.
Time 0-60 MPH runs with data logging to review shifting and acceleration performance - APEX identifies the vehicle you are in based on OBDII for a fair comparison among other APEX users.
OBDII data is recorded alongside an APEX Pro when on track, or can be logged with only the phone GPS providing position and timing information. Data appears seamlessly in the Data Review, and will be exported as .csv or Airdropped as part of a .apexData file.

> improved session review for iPad with new layout and multiple plots
> reduced memory usage for sharing files
> reduced internet data usage for CrewView startup

Competitive CrewView!
Live leaderboards for every official track. Each time you finish a session, your best lap can be considered for awards, considering Lap Times, best APEX Score, and more. Up-to-date Leaderboards can be seen by choosing any track in the ‘Tracks and Records’ page.
Have a solid past Session you think could be a winner? Visit ‘Data’ and swipe left on any session, choose ‘Top Ten?’ to submit the session for consideration.
New leaders will be updated and posted in the ‘CrewView Live Feed’ as they come in, so you can see how your friends and your rivals stack up.
As we collect submissions, we are now defining a ‘Par’ APEX score for each course (also found in the ‘Tracks and Records’ page). This will provide a community reference for APEX performance since achievable lap-average APEX scores can vary from track to track.
To access these new features, make sure CrewView is ‘enabled’ in your User Settings.
Please note the app may take several minutes to load the first time it is opened after this update, based on the number of sessions you have saved.
