Racemap Roadmap

Viewport of your map

With viewport you set the initial view of your tracking map spectators will see when loading the visualization of your event. The viewport works independent from objects such as tracks, points of interest, or splits. You can adjust these properties
  • 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.


More about features for visualization of sports events in our documentation.

Activating team challenge in your leaderboard

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.

API to import any participant data, automatically

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

Set the upload feature

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

Groups & stages - access to single maps

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.

Duration - new target in leaderboard settings


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.

DSQ, DNF, DNS participant status

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.

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

Interactive features in your tracking map

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.
