Veloup vs Poltrax Tracker

Veloup is an app for cyclists that combines route planning with the life of your local riding community. Plan a route, check the weather for every part of it, invite others and ride. ROUTE PLANNING Build road, gravel and MTB routes on an interactive map with an elevation profile. Veloup automatically detects every climb on the route and shows for each one: • length and elevation gain • average gradient • maximum gradient • steepest 100 metres • climb category Street View preview straight from the planning screen. Import routes from GPX files and from Strava. WEATHER FOR THE WHOLE ROUTE This is not a forecast for the start point. Veloup calculates the weather separately for every section of the route — based on your departure time, average speed and the time it takes you to reach each point. You will see: • temperature kilometre by kilometre • wind, including relative to your direction of travel • rain and cloud cover • a comparison of different weather models So you know when to set off and what to expect out on the road. GROUP RIDES • create events and private meet-ups • sign-ups and a list of who is coming • share the ride with your friends • from easy coffee rides to training sessions and multi-day trips VELOHUB — THE PLACES MAP Places recommended by the community: • legendary climbs and routes • viewpoints • bike-friendly cafés • bike shops and workshops • spots worth the extra kilometres YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY Find people to ride with, local cycling groups, events nearby and new places to ride.

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.
