Compare your current lap against another telemetry file already in your Your files library — a different session, car, or stint on the same track.
This is not a desktop file import. You cannot drag a
.duckdbfrom your computer onto Track Map. The file must already be uploaded to Dashboard → Telemetry → Your files.
How to use
- Open a telemetry file in Track Map
- From Your files, pick another recording on the same track
- Load it as the reference ghost using either method below
Drag and drop
- Drag the file row from the Your files list
- Drop it onto the Track Map
- A Drop best lap here overlay confirms the load
Three-dots menu
- Open the ⋯ menu on a file in Your files
- Choose Load to compare
Load to compare only appears when:
- A different file is already open in the viewer
- Both files are on the same track
Same-track requirement
Both files must be from the same track. MyLMU uses the track recorded in each file, or the track from a linked session if one is attached.
If a file does not show a track yet, open it once in the viewer or link a session so MyLMU can read it. Comparing files from different tracks is not supported.
