Track phone app suggestion?

Can anyone suggest a good track day app and suction cup mount for my android?
Easy to download, easy to operate, shows the track info in the video?




* pulled this picture off youtube (not sure who it is)


Thanks in advance

Harry's Lap Timer is really good and for the price, probably the best bang for the buck. I got a suction cup mount from Optrix.com. Unfortunately they do not have a mount for the new iPhone 6 to use with the suction cup. Optrix does have many different mounts.

I do believe you can hook a go pro to the app as well, but I haven't tried it.

One caveat on the app, it is not completely accurate. There is a slight delay due to its using the cell towers for your positioning on the track. If you want it just for yourself and get videos of yiur performance, then Harry's is the best for its price ($29.99). You have to spend more money for better equipment if you want something more professional or accurate.

If you want complete accuracy buy the DUAL external GPS. I use it in aircraft without any position lag at all and I am moving a bit faster than on the track. It will last 8 hours on a single charge so no permanent hookup is required. Just affix it to the dash and couple with your iPhone or Android via bluetooth and you won't see the lag any longer. It cost about $95.
