TrackDay for iPhone and TrackDay Pro
Posted on September 6, 2012 by FTLapps in Products, TrackDayA fan asked, “Is there a list of differences in Pro and regular that I can compare?”
The TrackDay apps are built from the same codebase, so the answer is pretty simple — they’re the same… except where they’re not. To keep it simple, we’ve summarized the differences in this table:
Feature TrackDay for iPhone TrackDay Pro Icon 
App Price $4.99 $19.99 iPad Support No Yes iPhone Support Yes Yes Tracks Available On 8/21/2014 241 241 Track Price $0.99* FREE Track Learning $2.99 FREE Compute Track Yes** Yes Track Editor No Yes iTunes Preview Links TrackDay for iPhone TrackDay Pro * The majority of the tracks in the TrackDay for iPhone edition are available for in-app purchase. Recently added tracks are offered for free for a limited time.
** As of the 2.0 release, the TrackDay Pro edition can compute a track (raceline, start-finish, pit-out and pit-in) from a selected session. In the 2.2 release, this capability has been extended to the TrackDay for iPhone edition.
M1 concourse Pontiac MI?
Thanks for your request! We’ve added it to our list. Apple Maps still shows it as a mall… so, that’s a problem; we need accurate satellite imagery to plot the course and identify the start/finish, pit-in and pit-out features. But we have a very old iPad still running the Google Maps API under the app… The Google imagery shows the track under construction. There’s a chance that we can use that imagery. Stay tuned!
It has taken us forever (in TrackDay-years) but the delay has paid off — the satellite imagery has recently been updated, and the actual pavement is now visible!
M1 Concourse Race Track in Pontiac, Michigan is now live in TrackDay Pro:

How do you delete a session accidentally started
From the same screen (the Track screen) select the Action button on the bottom-right, and select “Delete This Track.”
Will this “learn” and track Autocross courses also?
Thanks for your inquiry! Yes, years ago, we received “track” data from the middle of a forest. Satellite imagery was low-res for the area, but there was a clear loop over the hills and through the woods with hints of a trail in spots.
The “learn” option collects GPS samples until you end the session. After you have completed two or more loops and conclude the session, it will attempt to spot the start and end point for the first complete loop, clips the data accordingly, and will mark the point with the highest speed as the start/finish. Using the “Features” button (icon with the three circles) you can toggle the feature editing mode, to tap and drag and resize the start/finish, pit-in and pit-out features. With the TrackDay Pro Editor, you can manually edit the result to more closely match the ideal loop.
The “learn” capability is heavily dependent on high-quality GPS data, so a stable mount with a good view of the GPS satellite constellation is an absolute must. (Over the last year, we’ve been flooded with complaints from riders carrying their iPhone inside their leather racing suit. GPS doesn’t operate well through your body; we figured that out the hard way in 2012!) http://www.ftlapps.com/wordpress/2012/09/trackday-gps-accuracy/
