Like many of you, we use the Garmin Tread XL Baja Race when racing — but something has always bothered us:
You have a Garmin device with a large display, GPS, and basically everything you need for racing — but in the end, it mainly just shows you the route.
So we asked ourselves: Why not turn it into a proper race timer?
That is exactly how the JD Lap Timer was born.
