In most cases, our monitor dashboard is used to increase the safety of endurance sports events. Usually, the monitor is streamed on a large screen in the race office. 

Users asked for better targeting of the SOS alerts from GPS trackers. Hence we published a feature to send detailed SOS notification emails which perfectly works on smartphones. 

When a participant presses the SOS button of its GPS tracker the editors of the tracking map receive a short email summarizing relevant information: 

• name of the event (to keep an overview when multiple events are running at the same time),
• participant's name & bib number,
• time, when the participant pressed the SOS button on the GPS device,
• name of the device in the tracker management 
• link to the corresponding monitor with additional data such as the last known location to verify the situation in the race 
• exact coordinates of the SOS alert, to copy and past and forward to the helicopter team
• maps showing the overview

The SOS email is sent a couple of hours before and after the event start- and end time

• if monitor  add-on is activated for the event and 
• if the GPS device is active in the tracker management

We added new features to the Tracker Management, which let you quickly select multiple GPS tracker used for a specific event. This way for example you can target commands to those devices that are used for your half marathon. With the new "events" column, you can filter your GPS trackers according to your tracking maps. The column shows the number of events in which the device is assigned and you can hover the events' names.

Advanced users of our Tracker Management asked for the ability to send custom commands to many selected GPS trackers with one click. ... instead of sending the same command to another GPS tracker one by one.

To increase the efficiency while configuring your GPS devices, we've now released the feature that lets you send custom commands. This function can be applied to the active devices of your tracker management.

Select the devices, click "Batch Actions" and choose "Custom Command".

Users that work with many GPS trackers  have specific needs and asked for a more efficient Tracker Management . We developed the option to set up multiple GPS devices at the same time with one click.
