Stay tuned to Racemap live tracking platform: new features, enhancements, and resolved issues
We integrated the Pengsent FM03E GPS Tracker into our tracking platform. You can now use this tracker type for live tracking on Racemap.

To increase your flexibility when applying GPS trackers at sports events we developed the "close after"-parameter for messages. Now, there are three options on how the message interacts with the device which is remotely connected to our tracker management (https://racemap.com/admin/trackers/).
The most common data loss while sports live tracking occurs in data transfer (not in GPS connection). For that reason, providers of a sports tracking service require a quick overview of possible connectivity issues of their GPS devices. Users of our tracking platform asked for a visualization of the reception quality and we developed Track Chart.
Track Chart is an interactive tool for detailed insights into the location data of a specific GPS tracker. Get a feeling of this feature and test the sample with real data: https://racemap.com/admin/track/860201060071837?startDate=2023-08-17T19:00:00&endDate=2023-08-20T02:00:00&outageDuration=180
Track Chart shows every single location of a specific device with the recorded- and received time. With this diagram, you easily detect delays like when the tracking unit sends packages from memory, which can indicate problems in mobile reception.
You access the track chart of a specific device from the participants' list of your event.
We made editing long tracks for endurance cycling races like TORTOUR Ultracycling with 1,000+ km & 50,000+ track points way more handy. The map editor now prevents unintentional zoom reactions when selecting multiple track points. Additionally, a new toolbox provides actions for selected elements.
These enhancements increase your speed when creating live tracking and you'll appreciate these features when quick adjustments are needed during the event.
Our tracking platform now evaluates more parameters of Queclink's GPS devices of the GL300 series (GL300, GL310, GL320). This update improves insight into units of Queclink's GL3XX versions and makes these devices even more reliable for live-tracking sports events.
Activate tracker events such as power off, power on, SOS, crash, start charging, stop charging, and temperature with this custom massage:
+GTCFG=gl320m,,,,,,,003F,,,0FFF,,,,,,,,,,,,,,FFFF
gl300m is the set password and needs to be adjusted possibly.
The tracker dashboard processes "shut down"-messages, that are triggered either from manual the power button or the GPS tracker shuts down automatically due to battery state. The alerts in the safety monitor provide the message of when a device is shut down.
When requesting device settings the tracker management updates the settings report, which now provides new parameters:
The generic import now provides a detailed error description if it fails for specific entries. Read all about flexibly import & synchronize participants' & devices' information through the generic import feature: https://docs.racemap.com/api-import-and-export-data/import-basics/metadata-api
Customers asked for an overview of all their tracking maps. Especially Racemap accounts with 20+ sports events each year and organizations that summarize multiple users have this need.
We now added a convenient event overview to our live-tracking platform. We know from our own experience that the event table speeds up the workflow and helps to scale the tracking service. Open your event dashboard with this link (https://racemap.com/admin/events/manage) or the list button.
Find relevant parameters of your tracking maps in one dashboard. You can filter the list for specific parameters such as
When representing multiple users you can even filter this list for one of your users.
From now on we keep a TCP socket open that you can use to export data from your timing system to Racemap. Just contact us, when you have forwarded your data to our platform. We will check the format and structure of your data and enable predictive live tracking for your timing solution.

You can now use our tracker management to update the firmware of queclink's GL300 & GL320 GPS trackers over the air. This way you save time maintaining your tracking devices as there is no physical connection needed to the management tool and you can update multiple devices at the same time.
Use the below custom commands:
GL300MG FW 14.02
AT+GTUPD=gl300m,0,1,10,0,,,http://racemap.s3.amazonaws.com/sport-tracker/firmware_queclink/GL300M/GL300M_1713_R20A14V02.enc,,0,,,FFFF$
GL320MG FW 10.01
AT+GTUPD=gl320m,0,1,10,0,,,http://racemap.s3.amazonaws.com/sport-tracker/firmware_queclink/GL320M/GL320M_B7K1_R01A10V01.enc,,0,,,FFFF$

You can now adjust the sensitivity of the "no movement"-alert for the monitor. Set the duration when the alert is triggered or turn the alert off when it is not relevant to your event.
