How do I add/upload a track (Roadbook or GPX trail)?
Updated
First, you have to create the roadbook. How
to create your first Digital Rally Roadbook?
To add your roadbook/track, you must upload it to RoadbookRally.com. Once uploaded, the roadbook/track becomes accessible through the RoadbookRally platform, allowing you to manage and share it as needed.
You can access your tracks in the RBR Roadbook Reader app under the "Tracks -> My Tracks" section. Additionally, there's a feature that allows you to share your track (Roadbook or GPX trail), by providing its PIN code or link to others (if its visibility is set to "unlisted" or "public"). This makes it easy to distribute your tracks to fellow riders.

Here are the steps to take:

Roadbook:
The RoadbookRally.com platform only supports the "OpenRally GPX" digital roadbook format (exported from the RallyNavigator.com) and does not accept PDF files.
Download the sample roadbook files:
- For use in RallyNavigator (*.rn2)
- For use in RoadbookRally.com - "OpenRally GPX" roadbook file to see how the platform works
- GPX Trail:
For a simple GPX trace file, the only navigation option is "GPX trail" in the RBR Roadbook Reader app. This mode displays the GPX trail with waypoints on a map for navigation.
The RoadbookRally.com system will automatically generate waypoints for you if no waypoints found in the uploaded file. Alternatively, you can use tools like Rally Navigator, gpx.studio or ZINC navigator to manually set speed zones and waypoints for your GPX trace files. This flexibility allows you to customize your navigation experience according to your needs.

Roadbook:
- Go to Organizer tools -> My Tracks (or event Tracks page if creating an event)
- Click on the button "Create new Track"
- Fill in the track info and upload the track file under "Roadbook / GPX" page on the left menu, and you are good to go! The track will appear in the "RBR Roadbook Reader" app under Tracks -> My Tracks. You can quickly share this track with anyone by giving them the PIN code or sending the link to the RoadbookRally.com track page (if track visibility is set to "unlisted" or "public")
- Control your track visibility/access with a visibility property. You can instantly remove your track from all devices by changing its visibility to "private"
-
Track updating:
- The RBR app automatically checks whether the downloaded track is the latest version. If it isn’t, the track is deleted from the device, and the user will need to enter the PIN again to download the latest version.
- If you upload a new version of a track, the replay and leaderboard will display separate results and replays for each track version. This allows you to test the same track and view the full history of changes and rides.
- In the event results and replays, only the latest track version will be visible, and all results will be recalculated as soon as you upload a new track version.
