MyLaps forwarder (deprecated)

The forwarder is a program that runs locally to send reads from MyLaps timing systems to RACEMAP. You use the forwarder through command line, no UI.

Flow of information

You can download the software for Windows and Linux from github.com

How does the forwarder work?

  • Opens a port, on your local machine: 3097

  • Listens on localhost IP: 127.0.0.1

  • Waits for TCP/IP connections from MyLaps Timing Software

  • Processes passings/reads send by the MyLaps Timing Software

  • Uses RACEMAPs API token to forward data to RACEMAP

How to get a token?

API token The API token serves as a secure key that authenticates and directs your data to RACEMAP. Without a valid token, your submitted data will be rejected. Generate your API token in the settings of your RACEMAP account https://racemap.com/admin/account.

Manage your token in your RACEMAP account
