The Racing App from the GPSoverIP GmbH is intended for all racing sport fans, which have fun to get more information and details of the racing sport via new media. Using this App offers the possibility for fans to see the racing event in a visual way. Positions of the racing cars for example will be therefore displayed live on a race track. The user additionally receives additional information like race calendar, information on the teams and race tracks. This app allows racing teams via an authorization with their GPSoverIP-Account (GPSoverIP-Hardware GPSeye is required), to let their vehicles be shown on the selected race track for a desired time period. This application is through the input of third persons like the racing team and the provider a media, which is permanently changing in his cognition. In this case we want to point out that the quality of the ceased data depends on the assistance of third parties (for example graphical material, driver information, quality of the vehicle positions etc.). Herewith the GPSoverIP GmbH wants to thank in the interest of the user. The GPSoverIP GmbH also aims with this collaboration for a constant function enhancement of the Racing App in future. Note: For optimal use of the Racing app GPS services are used. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. ------------------------------- Features: - Live-demonstration of the racing vehicles - Team information - Sponsor information - Speed indicator - Racing calendar - TV-Out function Notice: The maps must be downloaded separately. We recommend to use a Wi-Fi connection. A visual output on screens or beamer is possible via HDMI adapter or AirPlay mirroring.
