What’s New on RACEMAP Tracking Platform

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.

Enhancements for Safemap & Tracker Management: Smarter Alerts, Smoother Navigation, Cleaner Columns

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.

Safemap improvements – Better UX this weekend

We’ve rolled out a small but beautiful update to Safemap aimed at making your (your team, your clients) experience smoother and clearer:

What’s new:

  • Simpler numbers:
    We now show only one digit after the comma — less noise, more clarity.


  • Richer hover info:
    Get more details when hovering over map elements.


  • Mute button for alerts & notifications:
    Control what you hear without leaving the map.


  • Participant-specific links:
    Quickly jump to a participant using a URL, e.g.:
    https://racemap.com/safemap/demo?selectedStarterId=690d085891613392d58c0077


These changes are all about giving you a cleaner, more focused view while staying in control of notifications.

RACEMAP Release Update

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. 

Clickable alerts on the map: Alerts are now interactive, letting you jump directly to relevant details.

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.

GL320: Remote update to the latest firmware now supported

Users can now remotely update Queclink GL320 GPS trackers to the latest firmware version R01A13V03_R10A02V03 using the Start Firmware Update command in RACEMAP Tracker Management.

Important: Devices running older firmware must first be updated to R01A12V09, which is the required bridge firmware, before applying the latest version.

Safer endurance races with lean operations & fast reactions

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.
