Track data recording
Is there a better app out there for Android besides Torque pro for datalogging basic OBD-II data? The autocross sessions here are pretty short and probably don't need to record data, but I would like to try to dip my toe into data collection before I get to actual track time and better data systems.

I use racechrono, but primarily for timing. It can log a good amount of OBD data too.

There's not really a middle ground, you either spend <$100 and it's a little janky or you jump up to >$200 to SoloStorm or AIM.
Lots to be gained in getting autox data if you want to be competitive there, SoloStorm is great. |

I tried a lot of free apps and couldn’t find one that did what I wanted and went to SoloStorm and it’s awesome and also works on track.
Then once I got used to it and wanted even more data I paired the solostorm with a RaceCapture and it’s amazing. |

Honestly, I am happier with Racechrono, an XGPS160 and MX+ OBD link then with my Aim. The aim has some nice features but it's buggy sometimes. I get pretty good data from racechrono. And the battery in my Solo2 died not even two years old. It was always a bit dodgy and never held a charge well even when new.

TrackAddict works quite well considering it's free.
Just pair with the proper blutooth ODBII module and an external GPS. |

I like Trackaddict for the track (as far as free stuff goes), paired with a Qstarz or XGPS160 it is just as accurate as my transponder. That's what I use on my TT4 BMW for time attack.
For autocross, Solostorm for sure, with same GPS. Add on a Bluetooth OBDII adapter if you want the extra info.

G-force readings from the phone. Position and speed from the external gps. A Garmin Glo 2 GoPro Hero 5 black for video with an external mic mounted to the rear license plate frame. Data and video put together with RaceRender 3 (also free) Here is an example of it all put together. |

Is there a real benefit of an external GPS? I would have guessed the phone's internal GPS would be fine. Or does the external GPS offer faster refresh rate than 1 Hz?

I used my phone's internal gps for a bit, then switched to an external. The phone GPS was WAY off. Speeds were wrong and lines were wrong. They don't update nearly fast enough or accurate enough. I could easily see each individual point of data collection on Trackaddict. There were large gaps between data points, made the line all angular and incorrect.
