clock with the official clock for the race. Click 'Clock & Calibration', Head to the official clock and with the setting
buttons, set the clock until perfect synchronization. Clocks must be identical in all parameters:
hour, minutes and seconds.
Now, let's connect Rabbit's odometer
to the mobile phone's GPS. Click 'Connections', select 'GPS' and then 'connect'. Wait for the connection confirmation. Make sure you are in an open place where you have
GPS signal, for the connection to be done correctly.
In this video, we assume you already
configured the sectors in the editor. To learn how to edit sectors, watch the
video tutorial 'Sector Editor'. Open the Sector Editor, click 'options',
and then click 'send to navigator', now you can start navigating. Click 'navigation'.
This is Rabbit's navigation screen, while we wait for
the starting time, we will explain its functions. In the upper toolbar, you can find
your time and the clock. This is the sector's established mean speed, 30 km/h. Under that, you can find information about next sector.
Next sector's distance and its
established mean speed, 45 km/h. If it's a timed sector, it will always indicate the
distance until next sector and the established mean. If it's a displacement, it will indicate the duration. This is the real speed, it's still zero because
our starting time hasn't come yet.
Here you have the ideal time, the most
important function, we will explain it soon. And this is the real odometer, it counts
the distance traveled in kilometers. The sector we are in is indicated here,
in this example it's sub sector 1. The ideal time is the secret for keeping regularity,
it lets us know if we are behind or forward and that way we can keep regularity.
The most important thing is always
try to keep close to 0. In Rabbit, visualization of the ideal
time is easy and intuitive. Time in red: slow down, you are forward. Time in green: speed up, you are behind.
Time in yellow: perfect, continue like that. Let's wait for our starting time,
just a little bit more. Hey, five seconds to start. Now we can see the odometer registering
the distance and our speed is changing.
The most important information is the
ideal time, see how colors change. Red, yellow, green, this indicates your regularity. If it stays red, it's because you are forward
and you have to slow down, maybe even stop. If the ideal time stays green, it's because
you are behind and you need to speed up.
If the color is yellow, great! You are regular. To reach the ideal time, you have to keep the odometer
set to the measures specified in the route book. Usually you will need to check and adjust your
measure with the one in the route book. It will be necesary to compensate errors
in curves, roads and callibration.
Make adjustments perfectly is the
secret to get the best results. You don't need to slow down or stop the car because
the adjustment is done with the car moving. While the co-driver makes the adjustment, the
odometer keeps registering the distance traveled. Adjusting the odometer is very easy, when passing
a referenced marked in the route book, just touch the odometer and in the settings screen
type the correct measure and click ok.
Notice that we made the adjustment of 345
and the odometer already registered the distance traveled while we
were making the adjustment. We will need to make adjustments
during the whole test. Let's explore a little bit more
Rabbit's navigation system. Don't forget.
Red: slow down. Green: speed up. Besides the representation in different
colors when you are forward or behind, the app has sound notifications to
intensify those parameters. You can activate the sound notifications
option in the configuration page.
The sounds get louder or softer depending
on how forward or behind we are. Hey, just 65 meters until next sector
with a speed of 45. *Beep* Next is 45. Yes, our app also tells you
to change the mean speed.
Time is red, slow down. Notice that now less than a kilometer is
left to next sector with a speed of 39. Now, let's make an adjustment. Imagine there's a tree at
the measurement 1,9 km.
Our odometer had an error of 9 meters. All of the adjustments made by the co-driver are
indicated in the screen under the real speed. Now you know how to navigate with
Rabbit Rally for regularity. For a use with GPS our app
is completely free.
If you want total precision, you can use
our equipment for total precision Rabbit Box. What Rabbit Box does is connect through
a sensor to the car's wheels and this way we can have real
information from the odometer. Besides an equipment for total precision,
the Rabbit Box comes with a controller to ease the adjustments and it
has exclusive functions..
