MX Strada series can be used on track thanks to the optional AiM GPS08 Module. This is used
for:
n Lap time calculation
n Speed calculation
n Predictive lap time calculation
To calculate these data the system needs to know the start/finish line coordinates of the race-
track you are racing on: MX Strada series comes with a long list of the world main tracks, con-
stantly updated by our technicians and automatically loaded to your PC when you run Race
Studio 3 Software and a connection to the Internet is available.
MX Strada series provides two track selection modes: automatic and manual.
Automatic:
MX Strada series automatically recognizes the track you are running on, loads the start/finish
line and the possible splits coordinates and calculates lap and split times without optical/ma-
gnetic receiver. This is the best mode in most cases.
Manual:
Allows to manually select the track from the internal database.
This mode is to be preferred when multiple track configurations are available nearby. In this
case MX Strada series would anyway recognize the track but would need at least one complete
track lap.
You can scroll the list of available tracks choosing among these options:
n nearest: shows only tracks in a 10 km distance
n all: shows all tracks stored in the system in alphabetical order
n custom: shows only the tracks you have previously created (learning mode)
