Import with CSV file

Use a CSV file to upload participants and devices for live tracking in RACEMAP. Download the participant list as a CSV file or automatically call the API endpoint.

Usage of CSV file

• Import participants and add devices (GPS tracker, transponder, Track Box, decoder).

• Download the participant list for further processing eg. updating an existing list.

• Automatically call the participants' information from the given API endpoint.

Mange the list of participants & devices in your event

Upload participant list

You want to use a CSV file to upload basic participant information - startnumber, name, tags, and marker_color - to a specific event.

Where to upload the CSV file with participant's information? Select the relevant event from your event list - https://racemap.com/admin/events - open the (1.) Participants section and select (2.) Import/Export.

1. Participants >> Import/Export

2. Upload CSV file

3. Success

This section introduces the two options - CSV file & tracker management - on how to merge the information of a participant with a specific GPS tracker that this participant will use for live tracking. Both options work with your GPS trackers the same way as with rented GPS trackers from RACEMAP.

Merge in CSV file, direcly

1. GPS trackers from RACEMAP: We provide a CSV file with devices' information imei and device_name of the trackers sent to you. device_name matches the sticker on the device, helping to identify a specific device with a friendly name.

Update participant list

Follow the workflow to update & add entries in an existing participant list using a CSV file.

• There is a unique starter_id generated for each new participant that is uploaded without a starter_id.

• Download the current participant list. The CSV file includes starter_id for each participant.

• Modify or add data in the CSV file such as race number, name, color, IMEI or app ID, key, tags.

• Upload the reworked CSV file. The entries in Racemap are updated corresponding to the starter_id.

• It is not possible to delete entries by uploading a CSV file.
