Pole Position: GPS Lap Timer

GHF Software

About this app

Turn your phone into a track day data logger. Pole Position is a GPS lap timer and telemetry app for anyone who takes a car, motorcycle or kart onto a circuit and wants to know exactly where the time is going.

Set your finish line once, tap GO, and every lap is timed automatically by GPS — no transponder, no extra hardware, no subscription.

WHAT YOU GET

• GPS lap timing — laps detected automatically as you cross your own finish line
• Sector splits — add up to two sector lines and get three splits per lap
• Ideal lap — your theoretical best lap, built from your fastest sectors
• Live dashboard — lap timer, GPS speed and G-force in real time, readable at speed
• Voice announcements — lap and sector times read out loud, so you keep your eyes up
• GPS trace — your best lap drawn on the map, colored by speed
• Speed and G-force graphs — lateral and longitudinal G, plus a G-G diagram
• Session analysis — best lap, average, consistency, total time and lap-by-lap deltas
• History — every track and every session saved, so you can watch yourself improve
• CSV export — take your data to a spreadsheet or to your engineer
• Share card — a clean image of your session, ready to post
• Open track mode — for hillclimbs, sprints and point-to-point runs
• Out-lap toggle — ignore the first lap so it doesn't skew your stats

BUILT FOR THE TRACK

Day and night themes with a high-contrast layout that stays readable in direct sunlight. Brightness and screen orientation control. Recording continues with the screen off, and a stop button sits right in the notification.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS

No account, no sign-up, no ads. Lap times, GPS traces and sensor data are processed and stored on your device.

FREE

Pole Position is free and ad-free.

Available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German and Italian.

Note: continuous GPS use in the background reduces battery life. Accuracy depends on your phone's GPS receiver and on clear sky visibility.

What’s new

Stability and diagnostics

• We now detect when the GPS signal drops during a session, or when the system shuts down recording in the background — so we can fix what was making sessions get lost.
• Deleting a session now also removes its laps and sector times, freeing up storage.
