Tracker Management

Enhancement

To give operators better insight into connectivity of their GPS trackers and carrier behavior, we’ve added new network-related visibility:

• New Network tab in Tracker Management
• Carrier and network information is now also displayed in the track chart

These additions help diagnose connectivity issues faster and support more informed operational decisions such as black listing a specifc carrier during live tracking.

Fix

The tracker management now shows the correct timestamp for when a device goes offline or when the socket connection is closed.

Predictive Tracking

A new column has been added to the Transponders tab, showing the total number of received reads during the race. This makes data completeness and transponder performance easier to assess at a glance.

Safemap

The chart in Safemap now displays elevation data based on the actual received GPS position of the selected tracker, rather than the predefined race course.

Why this matters: If a participant moves off the official course, the elevation information now remains accurate and reflects the real position — improving situational awareness for operators.

We’ve released new improvements across the RACEMAP sports tracking platform, focused on flexibility, usability, and clarity.

Sponsor Logo Add-on Enhancement

The Sponsor Logo add-on has been reworked and now supports multiple sponsor logos per map, giving organizers more flexibility in sponsor visibility.

Qualified users are invited to test this enhancement for free. If you’re interested, let us know — we’d appreciate your feedback to help us fine-tune the feature.

Safemap Usability Improvements

We’ve also introduced several small but impactful updates to Safemap to improve overall usability and intuitive interaction, including:

• Sticky tabs for charts and information
• Minor UI and detail refinements for smoother navigation

These updates are now live on the RACEMAP platform. More enhancements are coming soon.

Better Group Map Management 

We’ve improved how single maps are organized in the group creator to give you more flexibility and smoother workflows on our tracking platform.

• Add individual maps directly into group maps, making it easier to organize complex events. 
• Find events faster with an improved search experience, including smarter suggestions and a more consistent interface.

Accurate Message Counts in the Tracker Dashboard

Message counts in the Tracker Management now stay up to date at all times.

Previously, message numbers didn’t always refresh immediately when messages were cleared or resolved. This has been fixed, so the dashboard now updates instantly, giving you a clear and reliable overview of tracker activity.

Safemap

Progress Values

Progress values are now displayed more intuitively. Decimal values are shown only when the value is smaller than 10; for values of 10 and above, they are rounded to the nearest integer.

Alert Descriptions

When hovering alerts, the durations now show minutes (rounded) and, where appropriate, hours. Seconds are no longer displayed, making the duration easier to read.

Resolved Alerts 

Resolved alerts are now consistently shown in the map and chart in a greyed-out style.

Map Interaction 

You can now click an alert icon to fly directly to its position on the map.

Tracker Management 

Improved Column Selection 

The column-selection modal has a new design with a search field. Columns are now grouped, and you can search through them for easier management.

We’re excited to introduce the latest improvements across Predictive Live Tracking, Safemap, and enhancements that support you using RACEMAP platform in a scalable manner - all designed to make your race management smarter, faster, and more intuitive. 

Predictive Live Tracking

Better reads. Better predictions. We’ve improved how RACEMAP processes timing data by expanding support for multiple read sources. With more timing systems being used in predictive tracking, this enhancement ensures higher compatibility and more accurate predictions across events. 

Velocity insights for accepted reads. We now include velocity as an additional parameter when analyzing accepted reads. This gives organizers deeper insight into athlete movement and improves the precision of predictive live tracking. 

Tracking Platform 

More stable event duplication: We’ve made the event duplication workflow more robust to ensure faster and more reliable setup of new events based on your templates.

Enhanced Role Management & Collaboration: User role handling for event settings has been upgraded—making collaboration smoother and more intuitive. 

Improved Borrower Range Editing: Tracker Management now allows easier and more reliable borrower range adjustments, streamlining the setup process for loaner devices. If you operate with your own hardware, you can now easier rent out your GPS trackers directly through the platform. 

Safemap Enhancements 

Safemap receives a significant round of usability and clarity improvements:

Adjustable protected zones: Configure the protected zone size individually for each split or POI for more precise safety management. 

Refined chart layout: A cleaner, clearer layout highlights the most important information at a glance. 

Participant sorting by progress: Quickly identify who is ahead and monitor progression trends in real time. 

Marker color indicators: Enhanced color coding improves participant differentiation on the map.

What if you can monitor risk and safety of endurance races with fewer people, faster detection, and less logistical friction? Current event safety setups are often expensive, fragile, and heavily dependent on staff and manual observation. 

Explore the live demo: Open the interactive Safemap in the browser https://racemap.com/safemap/demo

We have just released Safemap, which changes all that. Safemap is a browser-based decision-support dashboard that surfaces the information that matters — for leaner operations, faster reactions, and improved participant safety.

Before launch, we refined Safemap throughout the season in collaboration with leading endurance event organizers — including Race Across Series — for proven usability in long-distance, multi-day races.

Safemap Improvements 

The time of our monitor add-on ends soon because our new Safemap is so much better.

• Alerts like SOS/Crash are now clearly distinguished from notifications such as Off Track.
• You can now mute notifications independently for more flexible alert handling in the field.

Event List Rework

Improved Setup Flow

Creating Single maps, Safemaps, and Group or Stage events now follows a smoother, more intuitive workflow.

New List-Based Layout

• We replaced the previous tile layout with a clean and structured list design to improve clarity and navigation.
• Better Group Event Visibility: Child events are now easier to view and manage.
• Filtering Tools Added: Quickly find and manage your events with basic filtering options. 

Stability & Maintenance

We’ve invested significant effort into backend reliability, code cleanup, and overall platform stability to ensure Racemap continues to run smoothly during high-activity periods.

With the RACEMAP platform, you can flexibly customize how your tracking map opens — for example, to select specific participants. This is perfect for embedding a reference in your results sections, participant lists, or event highlights. Here is the base tracking map URL for 100km-Duathlon: https://racemap.com/player/100KmDuathlon2018

1️⃣ Select one participant by ID: https://racemap.com/player/100KmDuathlon2018#selected=632c5f976d78777a56e66d38

2️⃣ Select the same participant by bib number: https://racemap.com/player/100KmDuathlon2018#selectedStartNumber=053

3️⃣ Select a participant and hide all other dots: https://racemap.com/player/100KmDuathlon2018#selectedStartNumber=053&hideNonSelected=true

Best practise:

• Hide URLs behind a button or short anchor text, making them cleaner and more user-friendly on your website or in communications 
• Combine different URL parameters to increase the marker size, change the map stype all in one link.

By using these URL parameters, you can create focused tracking links that improve clarity for viewers, whether embedded on your site, in a results section, or shared as direct links.
