From the finish line straight to your social media: Shareable race videos
Every finisher of an event can now pull a ready-made video of their own race straight from the tracking map and share it to social media, such as Instagram story. Around it, this release makes the back office calmer and more trustworthy: a redesigned sign-in and sign-up flow, mails that tell you the moment your API token changes, a redrawn SOS alert mail, and elevation charts whose labels no longer pile on top of each other.
What's new
Hand every finisher a video of their own race
In the tracking map navigation bar and STATS tab, a video icon now sits in each athlete row. After your event ends, anyone can get a 9:16 video of that participant's race: the whole field moving along the course, their own dot highlighted, and a live counter of the places they gained. The clip is rendered the first time someone asks for it, then plays, shares as a file into an Instagram story, or downloads.
You decide per event: the switch "Race videos for participants" lives in Visualisation → Sidebar. The video is built from your own tracking data, so there is nothing extra to set up — the race video documentation walks through it.
Readable elevation charts, even with splits packed together
In the map settings of your event, the marker labels above the elevation chart used to sit on top of each other as soon as two splits were close. Now every label is placed in the first row where it actually fits, up to four rows deep, so neighbour labels stay apart. Anything that still cannot fit collapses into a small "+N" chip you can see at a glance, while the profile keeps its full height. The chart also zooms with the mouse wheel (in map- and prediction settings), so you can scroll into a crowded stretch of the course and read the labels that were hidden.
Importing a course file is fast again
Importing a GPX, KML or GeoJSON file into an event that already carried many geo elements could take minutes, because the map editor re-saved every existing element along with the new one. Now, only what you actually imported gets saved. On a large event that is one save instead of hundreds. The same change speeds up the split list, protected zones, and archive imports in the Live visualization's map editor.
Find the events you mean on the manage list
On the event list, the date range now includes its end day — a range ending on the 20th finally contains events on the 20th. The date the range filters is picked right between the two date fields: Created, Updated, Start or End, as one joined control, and the matching table column is tinted so you can see what you are looking at. The event names now carry a hover menu with Open Settings, Open Map and Copy Event ID, and the small module icons in each row now toggle the matching filter instead of navigating away.
A redrawn SOS alert, one mail per contact
Safemap's SOS and crash alert mail has been rebuilt: a red alert card with the alert type and local time, an "Open Safemap" button, the last known position with a map image, and a link to Google Maps. The subject now names the bib and the event name, so a glance at your inbox tells you who and where. Each alert contact receives their own mail instead of one mail addressed to everybody, so the monitor contacts no longer see each other's addresses.
A mail whenever an API token is created
An API token grants full access to your events on RACEMAP, so creating one now mails the account holder: the token name, the time, and a link to the token list. If RACEMAP support team created it for you, the mail names them. The token itself is never in the mail, and the closing line tells you what to do if it wasn't you — delete the token and change your password, as noted in the authentication documentation.
