Garmin Catalyst™

Fantastic product for Track days

I love the app and live my Garmin Catalyst!

I wanted the data and was hoping I could get something that also offered a lap timer. Video was more of a nice to have and I never thought about the possibility of on track coaching tips. I’m more of an advanced non-professional. If you run every weekend at the same track you don’t need tips but I’m typically at a 5 different tracks a year and never the same one twice in a row. The tips are fantastic and they’ve showed me lines that aren’t what anyone else I drive with uses…and they’re faster. All those in one package but with fantastic integration. But the integration is useable seconds after you pull off the track and without even unbuckling your belts. The usability is absurd and the video is a fun nice to have so you can share/show off to friends and family as well as see the line (video and data) in corner 7 on lap 10 you just did. I didn’t even mention that it connects to a user community and leaderboard. Another layer of fun. I have no complaints other than I wish the data transfer to the mini SD card was a little faster but it’s a small small thing (I now do it while driving home) for such a complete and well thought out package that is executed perfectly. Very nice product.

The absolute BEST way to log and review data. Compare lap info with friends, use the coaching to help you get faster. My buddy has an M2CSR with an Aim data logger and bought a Catalyst after seeing my setup and going through my data. No other tool needed.

Really like being able to see the data on a device but the compare to friend feature way to frequently fails with the message about the tracks not matching well enough despite being the same track on the same days even. If they could fix that it’d be five stars for sure as of now the feature isn’t super useful Latest app update is reported to have fixed the compare but I still see the same issues

Amazing tool, I’ve only scratched the surface of its capabilities.

If you want to continue to improve your track times, especially as an Intermediate, this is the lap timer/ coach for you. It help me shed 3 seconds off my time first time using it. Easy to use and provides a lot of useful data

Great

I bought this device right when it came out and I’ve been using it for the last couple years. It’s truly an unbelievable device. I have Motec in my race car and it’s quite complex. This device is the very simple to use and allows me to have realtime input while I’m racing. I connect the audio to my headset, so lap by lap, I get info about how to drive each corner better. This is invaluable during qualifying and racing. Five stars.
