We're thrilled to unveil the latest update to RACEMAP app & custom tracking apps, loaded with features & performance improvements designed to elevate your event tracking experience.

• Event banner: Personalize each event with custom branding. Simply upload a banner via the visualization settings in our tracking platform. The banner is shown on the event details screen in the tracking app.
  
• Event details: Comprehensive information at a glance for both single & group/stage events, including event description, website, email, and uch more.
• Registration: Participants can now seamlessly register for events with our newly integrated registration solution.
• Improved tracking button with map: Navigate your events effortlessly using the enhanced tracking button and mini-map slider.

• Performance enhancements: Enjoy a smoother experience with fixes for heating and lagging issues, ensuring better stability and extended autonomy of 10+ hrs.

These enhancements not only enrich your experience on the RACEMAP app but also extend to our custom tracking solutions, ensuring you receive optimal performance and features across all platforms. Take advantage of these exciting new features and improvements!

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 updated all our custom apps. The latest version for iOS is 3.37 and for Android 3.37.3. By the way, regular updates belong to our custom app subscription. We take care of maintenance and keep your app up to date.

The custom version of our racking app can be flexibly adapted to your use case 

• as an event app for only one race, 
• or as a timer app to provide live tracking & result for all your races.

The latest version of Racemap tracking app (and of our custom apps ;-) animates the opening/closing of the navigation panel. Spectators are given clearer feedback when using the Racemap app. 

In order to make our interactive tracking maps more intuitive we released a couple of enhancements. Here are the three most relevant improvements: 

• Showing the logo of a single map or of a stage.
• Separate "Reset"-buttons for "Stages"-, "Tracks and Points of interest"- and "Athletes" to reset the selection in each category.
• "Hide unselected"-button. 

We are sure the spectators of your sports events will love these improvements.

As always our improvements apply to the replays of your past events also. Read all information about the features for our visualization of sports events in the documentation: https://docs.racemap.com/how-to-use-live-tracking/basic-features-of-racemap-tracking-map

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
