About

Poltrax Tracker turns your phone into a GPS tracker for competitions and sporting events. Scan or enter the code provided by the organizer — Poltrax Tracker downloads the event configuration and starts showing your live position on the organizer's map. Signing up on site? Scan the sign-up form QR — you sign up in the app and the phone connects to the race by itself. How it works: 1. Scan the QR code (or enter the code) provided by the organizer. 2. Allow access to your location. 3. Put your phone away and go — your position is sent in the background, even with the screen locked. Why Poltrax Tracker: • Runs in the background — your phone can stay in a backpack or pocket (a persistent notification shows that tracking is on). • Automatic start — tracking switches on by itself at your start time. • The race map at hand — “See the race map” shows you and other athletes live. • Offline buffer — if you lose signal, positions are stored locally (encrypted) and sent once you are back online. • Battery saving — smart position sampling modes. At 20% battery tracking stops so you can still use your phone, and it comes back by itself once you plug in a charger. • No account needed — pair with a start code, no paperwork. Poltrax Tracker works with the Poltrax timing and visualization system used at runs, cycling events, rallies and regattas.

What's New in Poltrax Tracker

1.1.4

October 15, 2026

A new look, and race sign-up right in the app. • On-site sign-up: scan the sign-up form QR — the form opens in the app, and once you send it the phone connects to the race by itself. Add your photo from the camera or the gallery. • A QR with your code connects straight away, no typing. • Your name and starting number are shown at the top of the screen. • “See the race map” — see yourself and other athletes on the live map. • The “Positions sent” counter shows how many positions reached the server. • Location turned off on the phone? A card with a “Turn on location” button instead of a silent gap in your track. • Same code on a second phone: the app warns you before connecting, and the phone that stopped sending shows “Tracking moved to another phone”. • Battery: at 35% GPS switches to power-saving mode, at 20% tracking stops, and once you plug in a charger it comes back by itself at 30% — without opening the app. • More reliable background tracking on iPhone, also after a long stop and when the race starts with the phone in your pocket. • An “Allow motion detection” step before connecting — fewer gaps in the track. • Light, dark or system theme: Settings → “Theme”. • A “Diagnostics” screen for support: tap the version number in Settings 7 times.
