Go to participants settings in your RACEMAP event and open the import/export tab. Paste the RACE RESULT event id or the URL of the access file. RACEMAP checks the access and provides feedback. Select the contests for synchronization with your event RACEMAP.
To let RACEMAP query participant data go to Main Window, Simple API, and select Racemap access.
ID must be unique within each contest.
ID is the identifier to address participant information in RACEMAP when synchronizing with RACE RESULT.
A new ID creates a new entry in the event in RACEMAP.
If one ID is removed then the corresponding entry is deleted in RACEMAP.
Timestamps in Start- and Finish fields set the First- and the Last Time of the participants in RACEMAP, and directly impact the visibility of devices in the tracking map.
The fields Age, Sex, Club, Nationality, and Status are imported as tags into RACEMAP participant list.
Parameters of the simple API displayed in tracking map: RaceNr, Firstname, Lastname, Status, Age, Sex, Club and Nationality.
Adapt the Transponder1 field for the transponder id of passive- (Bib) or active timing (Transponder1) or use the TransponderInChipFile argument.
When conducting predictive tracking, you can hide participants from visualization depending on their status. The if function in the Transponder1 field removes the transponder id of participants with DNS, DSQ, or DNF status.
Prediction: Passings from timekeeping for live extrapolation of participants' location and speed.
Use the custom field in the simple API to flexibly import additional parameters:
Go to Main Window, Participants Data, User Defined Fields to define the arguments in the custom field.
Color depending on contests: Switch function in user defined fields. If Contest.Name of a participant is "Gravel" then color is "#F2F2F2". If Contest.Name is "MTB"color is "#04B404".
Color depending on gender: Translate function in user defined fields: Set the first color ("#F2F2F2") for female and the second color ("#000000") for male.
Assign keys to participants.
The switch function in the Key field assigns one key to every participant.
Choose function in Key_1 field:
Paste keys from Racemap of the corresponding Racemap event.
choose([Bib];"xxxxxx";"yyyyyy";"zzzzzz";...)
Up to 500 keys fit in one user defined field.
For more than 500 participants in the contest set up a second field Key_2 and so on.
choose([Bib]-500;"XXXXXX";"YYYYYY";"ZZZZZZ";...)
Online registration with optional live tracking through Racemap App e.g. when the event wants to sell live tracking. Go to Main Window, Participants Data, Additional Fields, and add a checkbox "App".
If function in Key field: If the participant checks "Agree to live tracking with Racemap App" one key is assigned to this participant.
You own GPS trackers or you have rented trackers for an event. You can assign the devices to participants in RACE RESULT, directly. That way the participants data and the tracker information are synchronized with your event in RACEMAP.
For live tracking with RACEMAP App of an event with stages it can be useful to assign the App-Id to the participant information in RACE RESULT. Before the 1st stage, the participants redeem their keys in RACEMAP App. The specific App-Id of one participant becomes known and can be queried with the starters API. This way you can import the participant information including the App-Id for the subsequent stages.
Synchronize additional information about categories such as sponsor, mixed team, ... in order to filter participants in the visualization and in the leaderboard. Go to Main Window, Participants Data, Additional Fields, and add the test fields "Team" and "Sponsor".
Argument in TAGS field of the user defined fields to insert the two tags Team and Sponsor of the participant.
Efficiently connecting GPS trackers with participant information is essential for a smooth deployment process. To minimize errors and streamline operations, staff members assigning tracking devices should not have to manually read and enter the long IMEI numbers of the trackers.
Before each event, prepare your GPS trackers with stickers of the bib numbers.
Go to Main Window, Participants Data, User Defined Fields, and add the field IMEI. Insert the bib number that is attached to the tracker and the corresponding IMEI number of the device.
The code sample inserts five GPS devices with bib numbers into RACE RESULT.
RACEMAP devices come labeled with a friendly name of six letters. You might use your GPS trackers with your own label system.
Go to Main Window, Participants Data, User Defined Fields, and add the field IMEI. Paste the friendly name of the tracker and the corresponding IMEI number.
The code sample inserts five GPS devices with its friendly names into RACE RESULT.
Go to Main Window, Participants Data, Additional Fields, and add the field Tracker.
Go to participants and paste the friendly name to address a specifc tracker to the participant. The IMEI of this device will be synchronized through the simple API with the RACEMAP event.
Create an online registration form with the option for live tracking either with RACEMAP App or with GPS trackers.
Go to Main Window, Participants Data, Additional Fields, and add the checkbox App and add a second checkbox Tracker.
Key and Key_1 fields are similar to the sample above.
If function in IMEI field: If the participant checks "Live Tracking GPS Tracker" one IMEI is assigned to this participant.
Choose function in IMEI_1 field, past the IMEI numbers from the GPS devices.
Participants reach the checkpoint before the cut-off time and continue on the white course.
RACE RESULT settings with three contests - grey, white and black
User defined field for sorting participants during the event from grey contest to white or to black depending on detections at the checkpoint.

RACEMAP settings:
create a tracking map with the white course (shadowtrack) and synchronize participants from grey and white contests
create another map with the black course and synchronize participants from grey and black contests
create a group and add the white map
Description of the process:
From the start, all participants are calculated on the white- and on the black shadowtrack. That means each participant is shown twice - in the white and the black map.
At the cut-off time the participants in the white (black) contest are synchronized with the white (black) map. That means each participant is visible in either the white or the black map.
Now, add the black map to the group map. That way spectators continue streaming the same group with the new sorting of participants.
Timestamps in Start- and Finish fields in UTC format: ISO 8601
to specify markers in the visualization with different colors,
to enable live tracking with Racemap App,
ids of GPS trackers,
and
additional tags to filter participants in the visualization and in the leaderboard.
The color parameter sets various colors of the markers in the tracking map and needs to be defined as .
Bib for transponder id of passive chips Transponder1 for transponder id of active chipsTransponderInChipFile for transponder id
Tracking keys connect the RACEMAP App (and custom tracking apps) to enable live tracking for a specific event. You can use keys to offer live tracking as an optional purchase in your online registration form, allowing all participants to join live tracking.
