Features

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.
