The interactive Track Chart provides insights into your GPS devices at running operations. The Track Chart features:
Delay of received coordinates: The y-axis indicates the delay of received coordinates in seconds.
Battery History: A dedicated second y-axis displays the battery history of your GPS tracker, enabling you to monitor power consumption.

Pull the timestamps when a specific device recorded a location and when Racemap server received the same location, eg. to check the delay in sending live data through the mobile network.
syntax https://racemap.com/api/tracks/trackId/points?startTime=startTime&endTime=endTime
startTime and endTime timestamps in UTC of the first and the last location in the query
trackId unique Racemap ID of all locations of a specific device
lng
longitude of location
string
lat
latitude
string
elv
elevation
string
time
timestamp in UTC when device recorded the location, in case of interpolation between last two points => linear interpolated
string
receivedAt

We use the CoolTerm software to record the logs of the tracking device. Download CoolTerm here https://coolterm.en.lo4d.com/windows
Enable the USB port of the computer for UART communication. Read documentation.
On Clicking on CoolTerm icon. The first window you see is this
When connecting a powered-on device to the COM port via the UART cable, CoolTerm won't display it automatically. Users must configure CoolTerm each time it's opened, making sure the device is powered on and connected before initiating the application.
