1) Tranny gear off one gear, I looked at the display object & don't see where to adjust this, car is 6 speed stick.
2) I changed the map display to a more "correct one" #2 lap, but the red dot (car) does not navigate on the map.
Thanks.

For the transmission gear display, you would just need to set the adjustment to +1 or -1, depending on which direction it's off...
In TrackAddict's video overlay: Tap the "Gear" button and select "Gear +1" or "Gear -1"
Or, in RaceRender: Double-click on the data file under "Input Files" list, then go down to "Transmission Gear" and set the "Adjust" box to the right to either be 1, or -1.
As for the map issue, I would really need more information (and ideally, the data file) to determine what's happening there.
That's correct... The gear number is not available from standardized OBD-II parameters, so we usually have to rely on our own analysis of RPM vs Speed (both from OBD-II) to try to figure it out. As such, it sometimes can't be perfect, so the adjustment options were created to help with that.
I too am having this issue, and using the adjust menu to add 1 gear does get it to show correct gear placement with the exception of 1st gear, it now just skips 1st gear. How can I correct this in my video, and if there is nothing I can currently do, what can I do in the future to make this algorithm more accurate?
Thanks.
As with any estimation, there's no perfect solution, but the lack of first gear detection typically comes from an insufficient amount of suitable data recorded while in first gear.
Fortunately, that also means that you probably didn't spend much time in first, so it's hopefully not a big deal for the display to skip over it or use the +1 adjustment.
In any case, the simplest answer for now would be to have more data recorded with you in first gear, holding a steady speed or accelerating, so that its gear ratio will stand out when the data is analyzed. That's of course easier on vehicles with longer gear ratios. If on a road course track, you might try keeping it in first gear for a bit longer when first entering the track. The hardest case for this would be rapid acceleration from a standing start, where you never return to driving in 1st, such as in a drag race.
