• mapbox style e.g. terrain, satellite, hybrid and dark,

• longitude and latitude of where the map is centered initially,

• zoom, 

• direction and pitch. 

Set and save the viewport in the map tab of your event builder.

Select from different mapbox styles.

We were asked to add overall information to our leaderboard. So we developed the team challenge option, which motivates participants to cooperate. 

In the progress and rank section, you can now select the elements for each of your leaderboards, separately. With team challenge, you set the target distance (sum of all contributed distances) and the title of the challenge. 

The overall challenge is displayed in the leaderboard, directly.

For a detailed description of our leaderboard solution and real-time scoring check out our documentation.

We made it more flexible to import participants' data into your Racemap event. Just past any online participants file in the generic API, the rest is on us. The API checks the format of your file and provides feedback on which parameters are imported into your event. Can't be easier to connect Racemap with 3rd party systems like timekeeping or online registration.  

All about import tools in our documentation: https://docs.racemap.com/api-import-and-export-data/import-basics

While Racemap automatically enables uploading activities, you may don't want to offer this feature when your event is over. In "Other settings" under "Maintenance" you can now disable the activity upload. 

More on uploading activities in our documentation. https://docs.racemap.com/how-to-use-live-tracking/activity-upload

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.

With the new QR code modal, you and your athletes connect Racemap App for live tracking your event, easily. The modal opens with the "Connect your App" button.

You can open the modal with this generic link, also: https://racemap.com/app/redeem_key?key=6G615L 

Replace <your_key>, insert your passcode or insert keys and share the links with your participants.

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.
