Scaling Smarter: Tracking & Management Updates
We’ve released a round of improvements that make our sports tracking platform more flexible, more reliable, and easier to manage at scale. Every change is built on what we’ve learned from real-event usage and your feedback. We know RACEMAP has to scale that as your events grow.
Smarter Predictive Tracking
We’ve refined how we interpret raw data from the timing system. This solution reduces required settings for the timekeepers. So they can focus more on your participants’ experience.
Start Times
Observations: Previously, defining a too early start time caused dropping of valid readings as “too slow.”
Solution: We’ve removed the fragile, user-defined start-time setup. Instead, RACEMAP now detects the start of each participant automatically from the raw data. This reduces human error and flexibly adapts to a wide variety of event formats.
Finish Times
We’ve also implemented an auto-finish detection from raw data to ensure clean, accurate results: Finish reads are now automatically detected and added for smoother replays.
Improved M20 Tracker Communication
Some of our Indonesian users rely on superspring M20 trackers, which faced issues due to the GPS week rollover (a ~19.7-year reset of GPS time). This caused timestamps to appear ~20 years too early.
We’ve added a correction protocol so that M20 trackers now report accurate, real-world dates. This ensures historical consistency and keeps your live data aligned with reality.
Scalable Tracker & Role Management
For teams and organizations that rent out trackers across seasons or manage large pools of devices, assigning and reviewing roles is now much easier. With our new approach it is much easier to control devices' access tracking the tracker management.
- When selecting multiple trackers, you can now view all users and their roles across them.
- If a user isn’t linked to a tracker, the role shows as "None".
- Identical roles (e.g., Owner, Editor, Borrower) across trackers are consolidated for clarity.
- Edge cases (like multiple Editor assignments) are displayed transparently.
Bulk Role Management
- Assign roles to multiple users at once across multiple trackers.
- Remove users from several trackers simultaneously.
- Quick role edits are now possible by clicking directly on a user’s role.
This update reduces administrative overhead, making tracker management scalable and future-proof for growing event organizations.
