Device swapping during a ride
Updated

While riding a single track loaded by PIN code:
During an Event:
- You can swap devices at any time and continue riding.
- Log into both devices before the event to ensure they are synced and that tracks/roadbooks are downloaded. This is crucial if you need to switch devices in an area without an internet connection.
- The application can run simultaneously on your phone and tablet, allowing a seamless transition if one malfunctions.
While riding a single track loaded by PIN code:
- Switching to a new device will start a separate ride (this will be fixed in future).
- Your new device will create a new entry in the track leaderboards and ride replay.
