I recently purchased an iPhone app that captures GPS and accelerometer data for
use in a race car. The app (Harry's Laptimer Pro) can export the captured data
in a couple different formats. I thought it might be fun to try and get this
data into QC to overlay onto in-car video. Sort of a poor person's Traqmate.
I'm brand new to QC, but a rusty C programmer so I understand the concepts.
Is it too ambitious to want to create a track outline based on the GPS
coordinates, display the lateral and lineal acceleration as simple left-right,
up-down gradients, and a simple string of current speed? Are there already
examples of someone using laptimer data with QC?
Thanks for any pointers.
Here's a short sample of lap data in XML.
