You can now control the initial zoom level of your tracking map using a simple URL parameter - #zoom= - like this: 

• https://racemap.com/player/100KmDuathlon2018#zoom=2
• https://racemap.com/player/100KmDuathlon2018#zoom=12

This update it easier to create custom landing pages and dashboards, while saving your monitoring team time and effort scrolling the mouse wheel ;-) Discover all URL parameters to tailor the interactive race view in our documentation:   https://docs.racemap.com/how-to-use-live-tracking/iframe#url-parameters

We’ve released additional URL parameters that offer even more flexibility in presenting, sharing, and embedding your race visualizations. These parameters enable you to tailor the display for various use cases - whether integrating tracking information into dashboards, creating TV overlays, or embedding maps in custom applications.

Dynamic URL Composition: Create multiple URLs for a single tracking map to meet diverse display needs - all from one source. Generate unique links that focus on specific participant markers within your dashboard integrations.

New URL parameters

Custom Flag Content 

Control what information appears for a selected participant using the selectedFlagContent parameter. Choose from several options:

• Bib number: selectedFlagContent=STARTNUMBER
• Participant name: selectedFlagContent=NAME
• Bib number & name: selectedFlagContent=STARTNUMBER_AND_NAME
• Bib number & 1st letter of name: selectedFlagContent=ONE_LETTER_NAMES
• Bib number and two letters of name: selectedFlagContent=TWO_LETTER_NAMES

Selective Display 

Enhance focus on selected participants by hiding markers or flags that are not associated with them. Simply include: hideNonSelected=true

Optimized for Large Displays 

Ensure visibility on large screens - such as LED displays or TV broadcasts - by enlarging markers, flags, and Points of Interest (POIs). Enable this with: largeMode=true

Missed our live session on Predictive Live Tracking?

Catch the full webinar featuring Jens as he unveils our new dashboard for real-time predictive tracking. The session covers every stage of race management:

• Before: Setup and preparation
• During: Live monitoring and adjustments
• After: Performance analysis and prediction accuracy review

We're excited about the deepened integration of our M2M SIM cards into tracker management, reducing friction for users running their GPS devices with our SIM cards. With this release, you can now easily activate or terminate SIM cards directly within tracker management. Additionally, we've added two new bulk actions that allow you to activate or terminate all SIM cards for a list of trackers at once.

• For more details on our M2M SIM cards, please visit: https://racemap.com/gps-tracker#sim-subscription 
• Learn more about RACEMAP tracker management here: https://docs.racemap.com/tracker-management 

Additionall, you can now select to show the SIM status in the tracker dashboard. Never miss to activate a terminated SIM card after the off-season.  

We have enhanced the messages list in tracker management to improve communication between your GPS trackers and RACEMAP server, and to better detect when a message is not delivered. 

Given that the reliability of sports live tracking depends on robust communication between devices and the platform, we’ve made the following improvements:

• Details for each message: Comprehensive information is now available for every message, allowing insights into the communication process. 
• Enhanced communication feedback:Clear status feedback is now provided for each command, making it easier to identify if a command has not been sent to the device. 
  • Scheduled 
  • Acknowledged 
  • Not Acknowledged 
  • Failed to Send 
• Message timing & retries: Each message displays the time elapsed since its creation and its initial transmission attempt. If a device does not acknowledge the message, the system will automatically retry sending up to three times. 
• Transmission method: The update shows whether a message was sent via SMS or TCP communication. Note: SMS messaging offers a more reliable connection. This feature is supported when using our M2M SIM cards.

The Queclink GL3XX devices offer the deepest integration, supporting advanced acknowledgment communication mechanics for a more reliable tracking experience.

We're thrilled to unveil the latest update to RACEMAP app & custom tracking apps, loaded with features & performance improvements designed to elevate your event tracking experience.

• Event banner: Personalize each event with custom branding. Simply upload a banner via the visualization settings in our tracking platform. The banner is shown on the event details screen in the tracking app.
