Comments about AiM Solo On-Board Lap Timer, Stand-Alone Version:
Solo has lots of features and provides info.
The ma,aol has just as little information to get you started. Then you must look for video to figure anything out.
I found it difficult to do anything and deleting track inputs by me were difficult to delete or correct.
Will be some time until I get comfortable with it
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was quick,service is good.
Somtimes I think delivery charges are high on small items.
Won't keep me from purchasing fro Pegasus.

Comments about AiM Solo On-Board Lap Timer, Stand-Alone Version:
I bought the Aim Solo to replace a Traqmate data system that failed after 10 years. Except for the timing function, I no longer used the data gathering of the Traqmate so the Solo was a good replacement.
With a slight modification of the mount, I was able to mount the Solo to my Traqmate mount. Permanently wired the unit to the car for power.
The Solo's time numbers are bigger and with back lighting are easier to see. The best time for the current session is displayed on the screen for comparison with the current lap time. The track database is nice, no keying in the start/finish line while on the track as with my Traqmate. The Solo identifies the track on its own but I am sure if several tracks are in close proximity, the user would still have to at least select the proper track being used.
I have not connected the timer to a computer yet so I cannot comment on the software.
The only negatives which downgraded the rating are...
It would be nice if the lap counter display could be set as the primary display for use in races. Lap count is important during races to determine when the race will end. Maybe it does that but I could not find how to activate it. The instructions were vague on the subject.
Also, it would be nice to set the starting point for the lap counter. Some tracks you cross the finish line on the out lap for the pace lap, sometimes you don't. The mental mathematical gymnastics while racing is more difficult than it would seem.
Finally, when externally powdered, the unit turns on anytime power is supplied to the line. For me, that is anytime the kill switch is turned on or when the car is started. It makes un-necessary sessions in the memory. It would be nice if you always turn the unit on manually by the units on/off button. I'm planning to install an external switch on the power line to manually control power to the Solo.

Comments about AiM Solo On-Board Lap Timer, Stand-Alone Version:
The Solo was easy to set up - magnetic base sticks to the dash board of my Triumph Spitfire. The local track was already in the DB. Timing was within .2 sec of official transducer timing. I had a problem with printing out split times sheets and the help desk was able to help me reset the properties to make it work.
