We reworked the navigation panel of the interactive race visualization. Now the user interface is more intuitive and provides exciting new features. The enhancements improve the useability of Racemap tracking apps, too. 

• Selection of contests and stages 
• Selection and highlight of tracks and lines 
• Separate buttons for points of interest and for athletes 
• Filter added to athletes 
• Stronger highlighting of flags due to size difference

We reworked the interactive race VISUALIZATION and moved the option to select contests & stages to the navigation bar. Selecting, searching, & filtering the participants, points of interest, and contests in a tracking map can be applied in one place.

The main advantages of this improvement are: 

• Cleaner and more intuitive user interface in group- & in stage maps. 
• More space to show the map as the contest selector does not overlay the map anymore. 

There are specific events such as activity challenges or virtual races where the progress of the participants' activities is more relevant than their current location. For that reason, we have been asked to enable our tracking apps to show the leaderboard as the 1st screen when users open the event in the app.

We added two options in the visualization section of each tracking map:

• Default app screen (either the map or the leaderboard)
• Disabled app screen e.g. to hide the tracking map from publicity

We added a specific landing page for each of our custom apps such as https://racemap.com/app/time2win. The landing page includes the logo and buttons to download the iOS and the Android version of the custom app. More information about Racemap branded apps for events respectively for your own business https://racemap.com/apps

We've got new Racemap Tracking apps out in the stores! We think our improvements are going to be a big help for organizers, race directors, and timers to conduct real-time tracking of participants. New features available with the new app version:

• Automated non-movement notification 
• Seamless flow when participants join live tracking 
• Push notifications to target user groups such as participants of a certain event or all users of a custom app (beta)

Needless to say, the new release is available for all of our custom apps. More about user-friendly live tracking in our documentation: https://docs.racemap.com/how-to-use-live-tracking/tab-keys

We developed a new user flow to automatically guide participants when connecting their phones for live tracking. The new process is optimized for scanning a QR code and provides a seperate landing page for each key. 

The convenient user experience scales with a huge number of participants and saves support time at the help desk. The process dynamically guides participants independent from 

• The user's phone is iOS or Android. 
• Racemap App is installed or not installed. 
• The participant opens the key link on the smartphone or on the desktop.

Select the source to provide for your single map, group- and stage event from your custom app(s).

Timekeepers, event managers, etc. like to provide Racemap live tracking in their online registrations, directly. We received feedback to simplify connecting Racemap Apps for tracking. 

To automatically connect the user's smartphone with a specific race we now pushed a feasible process guiding participants independent from

• User's phone is iOS or Android.
• Racemap App (or custom app) is installed or not installed.
• Participant opens the confirmation email on its smartphone or desktop.

This solution scales for many participants providing a seamless user experience and saves support time. The process integrates the logo of the custom app and the event name.

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.
