We added an interactive map with elevation chart in the analysis section of our prediction dashboard. This new tool provides a quick overview of how & where the passings have been detected, their corresponding loction on the shadowtrack and addtional information about segments. Using this tool you can enhance the predictive live tracking even during the ongoing race.

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've added parameters to flexibly adjust the mapping algorithm to the specific needs of your event: 

• Max. mapping distance
• Max. and Min speed for speedfilter

This will allow for more accurate mapping, and we are sure it will be a helpful addition for your event. Access the mapping parameters in the "Danger Zone" of the advanced settings of your event.

The mapping impacts all functions and features in Racemap that calculate the relation of the devices' locations to the shadowtrack. Which are visualization, leaderboard, monitor, */ranks & */current API.

How does the mapping work? GPS devices send their geo data to a specific tracking map. The mapping calculates the device's location on the shadowtrack. The algorithm takes into account the device's current coordinates and its previous location on the track. Mapping considers laps and assumes that a device moves onwards (and not backward) on the track.

We added the option to preset filters for the visualization. When setting the "none" status as the default filter, the tracking map will initially hide participants with a DSQ or DNF status tag. Spectators watching the visualization can adjust the filter in the tracking map, also.

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. 

We improved the filter tags in our interactive tracking maps. Now, participants without a specific attribute in a category can be selected separately. Using this enhancement you can easily hide participants with a DNF or DSQ attribute in order to show only those participants who are still in the race.

Additionally, the selected filter attributes are set in the URL of the tracking map. Sample: https://racemap.com/player/100KmDuathlon2018_Repeat#filter=Age:--null--     

The improvements are valid for past events also.

Racemap tracking platform provides a solution for live visualization of a races from sporadic reads of the timing system. We call it predictive tracking (prediction). We now published our new dashboard for the prediction showing insights and giving feedback to improve your predictive live tracking and supporting your team on the race ground. 

The dashboard is separated into four sections: 

There are settings to control the visibility of your race visualization.  We added the option to set group events unlisted.
