We're excited to announce several enhancements to our tracker dashboard, designed to boost your productivity when deploying multiple GPS trackers. Your feedback has been invaluable in prioritizing these enhancements.

Reset filters with ease

We've added a convenient cross icon to reset selected filters, allowing you to quickly reset filters even when the filter tree is closed. 

Enhanced search functionality

The search field now supports multiple arguments. Simply comma-separate your search terms such as IMEI, ICCID, Tracker Name to refine your search and find what you need faster and more efficiently.

Global message management

You can now revoke all pending messages and delete all error messages with just one click. This global feature is helpful when renting your devices and managing large volumes of messages.

Streamlined message line operations

The message line now features a global clear and revoke button that addresses all messages of the marked device. 

We're thrilled to introduce a smart enhancement to our tracking keys: QR code. Tracking keys seamlessly connect your participants' Racemap App (or your custom tracking app) for live tracking at a specific event with ease. And you can take advantage of our key solution through QR codes. 

To further simplify and automate your processes when providing keys, we've empowered our platform to automatically generate QR codes for our keys. This feature allows you to quickly generate QR codes for multiple keys, and directly integrate the codes in your processes.

How to Generate QR Codes

To generate QR codes for your keys, simply use the following URL format:

https://racemap.com/api/starters/actions/generate_key_qrcode?key=YYYYYY

Replace YYYYYY in the URL with the keys for which you want to generate the QR code. That simple.

We're pleased to announce some enhancements to our billing page, specifically designed to better accommodate users leveraging our m2m SIM cards for machine communication across the globe. 

Our SIM cards include a monthly activation fee of €0.5 per card, and feature fair traffic charges starting at €0.15 per MB in Zone 1. Furthermore, you have the flexibility to (de)activate the cards as needed. 

Traffic consumption for m2m SIM cards

With our latest release, we've introduced a new product for tracking traffic consumption through our m2m SIM cards. Now, you can seamlessly monitor your monthly data usage in your billing page. 

Improved billing process

We've revamped our billing process to better align with your usage patterns. We'll charge the traffic consumption every one or two months with a one-month delay. This streamlined approach ensures greater transparency. 

Enhanced visibility

On the billing page, you'll now find a monthly breakdown of traffic consumption, simply hover over the details to view the breakdown.

The latest update of our tracker management gives you greater control and insight into your GPS trackers. You now can show and hide columns independently in both list sections. Also, we added the new firmware column, which is specifically designed for Queclink GL3xx devices. 

Tailor your tracker management to your specific needs. Whether you're preparing devices before a race, monitoring devices during an event, or maintaining devices in the off-season, this flexibility ensures you can focus on the information that matters most for your current use case.

In combination with the auto-request of device settings, you have effortless insights into your GPS trackers. When a Queclink GL3xx GPS tracker establishes a new port with our server, we automatically request relevant device settings, including:

• Firmware version, 
• ICCID of the inserted SIM card, 
• None movement detection, 
• Send interval (movement and none movement), 
• Report interval (movement and none movement) and
• GPS mode.

We're excited to hear about your experiences with these new features. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to refine and improve the Racemap platform.

We released powerful enhancements for our predictive live tracking, designed to elevate your race visualization experience. Our predictive tracking utilizes sporadic reads from your timing system for a smooth and realistic live visualization of your races. 

Key Feature: Adaptive Dot Jump Back

The last update enables our interactive tracking map to let the dots jump to a different location. If the deviation of the dot with the current read of the participant is too big this difference now can be corrected and the dot jumps back or onward to the location of the detection. This approach increases the quality of our prediction and ensures a more accurate representation of participant movements. 

Seamless Optimization

You can now adjust all parameters impacting the quality of predictive live tracking in the advanced settings of your tracking map. This empowers you to fine-tune your settings for optimal performance tailored to your specific event requirements. 

Effortless Optimization Process:

Fine-tune your settings with precision and confidence, ensuring a flawless race visualization experience for your participants and spectators alike. 

1. Real-Time Recalculation: Our prediction engine is highly performant, recalculating all data within seconds based on your adjusted settings even during a running event.
   
2. Utilize Old Prediction Events: Optimize your settings of upcoming predictive tracking by analyzing past prediction events (from your event library) and optimize parameters afterward. You can instantly see the impact as if it were live, without the hassle of replaying the event.
