At long-distance endurance events, the organizers need to know the resting time of the participants during the race. We now added this value to our leaderboard add-on. The rest duration is calculated from all coordinates with a speed less than 1 km/h within the event start- and end time. You can easily configure the leaderboard with the needed values in the add-on settings. 

The */ranks API provides the data from a specific leaderboard through an interface. We now added the activeDuration parameter in this API. The active duration is the duration within the event start- and end time in which the device sends locations and moves faster than 1 km/h. For example at a multi-day endurance cycling race, you can use activeDuration to infer the break times of the cyclists.

We added the option to select the list type from "Results", "Live" and "Participants" when you want to embed a RACE|RESULT ranking through Racemap Apps.

The Racemap leaderboard provides a holistic evaluation of the participants' continuous location data in a result list. We now added two columns to our leaderboard add-on: 

• Difference: The gap to the 1st rank, when the participant reached the finish. 
• Active Duration: The time a participant is moving faster than 1 km/h, evaluation of the participant's all coordinates within the start- and end time of the event.

Each element of the leaderboard can be disabled in the add-on settings.

You can now activate the leaderboard add-on for a group of stages, also. Similar to our proven leaderboard solution for single events you can easily embed any 3rd party result list for stages. 

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.

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

Users like our easy and flexible results as this solution works with real-time data (live ranks) and is optimized for mobile usage.

We were asked to add two more features to our ranks.

• Connect multiple contests respectively stages.
• Integrate the filter tags from our visualization. Tags can be gender, age group, or whatever is needed to classify the participants in your event.

Now users can switch between contests and filter participants in the leaderboard directly. Each filter tag provides the corresponding ranking. That way you can classify various categories among the participants of your event.

We've added the ability to show 3rd party result lists like from your timekeeping system in the tracking map. This new feature is a great tool for those who provide live tracking in a custom tracking app such as timekeepers and other event professionals.

Activate the external leaderboard in the progress and rank settings of your Racemap event and 

• Option 1: Show the leaderboard of the corresponding RACE|RESULT event. The event ID is taken from the import of the participants. 
• Option 2: Past the URL of your result list. 

We embed the list in the corresponding tracking map.

We added the option to show the split icon in the header of the leaderboard. Select from name, distance, and icon (or nothing at all) to be displayed in the head of each column. Find all options in the setting of the progress and rank add-on.
