    Racechrono Pro is great.
    Because most phones only have a 1Hz GPS receiver (only gets info once a second), i use a 10Hz (10 times a second) Qstarz Bluetooth Satellite receiver with my phone for more accurate timing info.

    I use Harry's on my android, and previously on iPhone. Add in a Qstarz receiver for more accuracy than the phone's internal GPS receiver.

    all tracks have a timing system and some have simple receivers you can buy or hire and put in the car
     
    talk to the track operator

    does Qstarz receiver work well with iphone. harrys Laptimer recommend  DUAL XGPS 160 but its over $230
    and Qstarz is about $100.
    well i just called some one and i was told that i should go for Qstarz 1000 because it can store memory for 4 days and Qstarz does not.
    im confused now about the memory

    You don't need memory storage on the receiver if it linked via Bluetooth to your phone - your phone timing app stores all the data.
    My $99 Qstarz works great....

    I placed my order on Dual SkyPro GPS Receiver XGPS160.
    After reading a lot of good reviews.
    I will give my feedback when I use it with Harry's LapTimer
