Users who deploy live tracking for many events asked for a clearer event list. In order to shorten the event list, we moved the single maps into the corresponding parent groups and stages. Now you can access the settings of those child events through the group or stage.

We've released a possibility to select and set duration (new) or distance as the target parameter in leaderboard settings. This option is available for leaderboards without a given race track. 

When choosing this option your corresponding leaderboard provides splits as distance value.

Now, the leaderboard automatically evaluates the status of each participant if its geolocations do not cover the required distance within event time.

Events without given race track (virtual race)

• DNF (did not finish): If the participant does not reach the target of the event.
• DNS (did not start): If the participant did not send any geolocation. 

Events with given track (regular events or permanent courses)

• DSQ (disqualified): If the first geolocation of the participant is more than 500m behind the start location on the shadowtrack.
• DNF: If the last geolocation of the participant does not reach the finish location on the shadowtrack.
• DNS: If no geolocation is mapped on the shadowtrack.

Estimate your monthly costs for live tracking with our new cost calculator. You can now calculate the costs when building your events in Racemap tracking platform, directly.

Spectators, athletes, and race organizers love statistics and data from their sports events. The information needs to be intuitive, interactive, and mobile-friendly, for an exciting visualization of the race. Therefore we pushed new features for your tracking maps:

• Elevation chart with crosshair showing total meters climb & descent
• Flow chart to compare the progress of participants
• Statistics & gap with speed, distance from start, ascent & descent, distance to go and time to finish (prediction). Gap compares the distance and the time difference of selected participants.

These new features are working in real-time for your running events and also in the replays of your past races. To enable the processing of location data you need to provide a shadowtrack in the map tab of your event builder.

Customers using our leaderboard add-on for virtual races wish to manually edit the finish time. As we calculate the results automatically from geolocation data values might deviate to a measurement with a stop watch. You can now adjust this value in the column Manual Result in the participants list.

Geolocations are essential for your sports events eg. to analyze various activities? You will love our new gpx download feature. You find the option in the participant tab of each event hovering over the list and download recorded activities for specific participants with the cloud icon.

In the next couple of weeks, we will provide more parameters in the participants tab that way you perfectly adjust your event. So stay tuned!

We've been receiving nice feedback from users providing virtual races. Spectators like our new net replay feature to compare all activities at the same time. And they asked for trimming the slider corresponding to the duration of the activities. That feature condenses the recap of long-lasting races as it does not show the duration of the total event.

• 100km-Duathlon with a trimmed slider for 8 hours showing all activities perfectly: racemap.com/player/100km-duathlon_2020-05-02
• The same event with a slider of 4 months total event duration: racemap.com/player/bike-only--100km-duathlon-c-special-test_2020-05-01

You now trim the slider of your tracking map in the net replay panel under map settings for each event. 

For some sports events, spectators wish to see the exact tracks of participants' activities. For example to analyze and compare the different lines during orienteering. You can now activate and set our new tail feature in your event settings. The tails are shown in the tracking map for selected participants.
