Live Tracking
Updated
-
The "Event → Live tracking" section opens one hour before the event's scheduled start time.
There you’ll see every accepted competitor who has opened a track in the RBR app and has an
active internet connection.
Please note: organizers can’t see real-time location for competitors riding without an internet connection.
While riding, the app continuously syncs each competitor’s GPS data with the server, updating results and penalties as it goes. When there’s no connection, the app stores the data and uploads it as soon as one is restored.
We strongly recommend staying on mobile data throughout the event wherever coverage allows. In areas without mobile coverage, consider a Garmin inReach, SPOT, or similar satellite tracking device.
You can add multiple administrators to your event Team so they can all access the live tracking page and help support the event.
P.S. Public live tracking is delayed by 10 minutes (adjustable in the event settings), while event administrators see it in real time.
This is how live tracking looks for event team members, with extra tools to quickly call a competitor or navigate to their location:
