mapbox & fresh Marker Design
Racemap now uses mapbox which enables new map features, Our new marker design targets the location even better
Two major improvements available for our Tracking Map, now:
- Our interactive sports visualization now uses mapbox. That enables nice features like changing direction, orientation and layout (as Terrain, Sattelite and Hybrid) of the map (using the right mouse).
- New flag design targets precisely the location of the athletes. New hover feature displays the flag with the specific race number. Flags are semitransparent to catch what is covered by the flag.
The visualization concept of Racemap GPS Tracking is clear and easy to understand. Through our Tracking Map any spectator is able to watch the competition on a desktop or on a mobile device.
New SOS-Feature in Tracker Management
More Safety at Sports-Events: Press SOS on your Racemap-Tracker and activate an alert in Tracker-Management!
SOS-Feature integrated into Racemap Tracker Management
Safety is a selling point! For race organizers, it is getting more and more important to make participants and their families feel safe during a sports event. That way everybody really enjoys the adventure and will come back to next years event.
New SOS-Feature! The most interesting competitions are in remote nature. For those events, Racemap provides the SOS-Feature in combination with Racemap-GPS-Trackers. Pressing the SOS-Button, the athlete activates an alert in the Tracker Management:
- SOS-Tracker show as first in tracker list
- Alert pops up and needs to be confirmed, so you can’t miss the important information when monitoring an event in a race office

Racemap Tracker Management:
- Work fast, efficient and accurate with many GPS-Trackers.
- Combines features to easily manage many GPS-Trackers at once.
Open Elevation Service
Background: We are working on a predictive Transponder-Tracking in tight collaboration with race|result. The prediction model is using recorded data from the timekeeping system as decoders and from TrackBoxes to forecast the athlete’s location real-time.
Everybody being involved in sports knows that the elevation is from key importance for a good speed prediction. It does strongly influence the speed of the athletes whether they ride their bikes uphill or downhill. Through our project for the Chip-Tracking we noticed, that Google Elevation API is too inaccurate for our use case. And as there is no other open elevation service providing accurate heights, we just developed and hosted such a service ourselves. You can use this service for your own projects under MIT license. You either host this service yourself or just use our API.
- Mapzen terrain data: https://registry.opendata.aws/terrain-tiles/
- Documentation and source code: https://github.com/racemap/elevation-service#api-usage
- Give it a Try: http://elevation.racemap.com/v2/?lat=51.3&lng=12.5
Do you have any question or suggestion regarding our elevation service? We are really looking forward to your feedback.

Racemap offers a flexible tracking solution for all kind of sports events. The last update of Racemap Tracking Map enables a dynamic scale from S to XXL – From 150 devices applied in your Tracking Map, our viszalization shows dots instead of flags.

Chip Timing for Sports Live Tracking
You are a race timer or race director and you want to offer Live-Tracking with your timing equipment? Our solution: Racemap develops a tracking system using data from the timing system to show a live visualization of your competition. In this project we work in tight collaboration with race|result, because they offer Track Boxes and Active Transponders – which are game-changing, unique products for timing and tracking. To verify our prediction model we tested the algorithm directly against GPS-Tracking during the 100km-Duathlon.
During our tracking test at 100km-Duathlon we use one Decoder, one Management Box, ten Track Boxes, 350 Active Transponders and 55 GPS-Trackers. Karl and Jens are monitoring and verifying the prediction model directly on the race ground.
