Does the platform validate waypoints?
Updated
Yes, it validates all types of waypoints, displaying the arrow with distance and waypoint number for
waypoints with open radius, similar to rallycomp or ertf hardware.
Waypoints should be cleared/validated in a sequential order, but it is possible to skip and/or miss them. The system will assign a penalty for missed waypoints as per event penalty rules.
If riders do not manually select "skip a waypoint", the RBR app will continue to point towards the missed one. Riders can complete the ride ignoring waypoints and their statuses in the RBR app. The system will calculate actually missed waypoints by the driven path. Meaning, the penalty system does not care if the rider marked the waypoint in the RBR app as skipped or not. The system will calculate missed waypoints per fact.
Also, tripmeter will be recalibrated automatically on waypoint validation (it is possible to disable this feature in the app settings)
