my.raceresult.com Tracking Map

In this episode of Bits & Beeps, we explain how to set up the Tracking Map for use in a Participant View on my.raceresult.com.

Requirements

• Proper GPX/KML course uploaded for contest that covers the whole distance (including all laps for lap events)
• Splits set up
• Map enabled in Participant View of your choice

Visual Improvements and recommendations

• Display map a few days before the event, but hide after the event as it doesn't bring value when race is over
• Use Contest Colors when several contests take place simultaneously
• Define GPS location of Timing Points to ensure they are visualized at the exact location
• Customize Label and Tooltip for athletes on the map

Prediction Accuracy

• If possible, compare to historical data from previous years, ideally when timed with RACE RESULT 14, using the Splits Analysis under "Timing > Analysis"
• Adjust minimum possible time (i.e. min. pace / time, max. speed) for each sector in Split settings to reflect a relatively equal time compared to other splits
  • Prediction calculates a factor based on an individual's time divided by the fastest possible time
  • When keeping a steady pace, this factor should be identical throughout all sectors
