Through the smartphone of each participant and staff member, the organization can monitor the rides, the track covered, the riding times and the speed along the route. To ensure an all-rounded safety, there's a live status update for every single participant and a global overview. Under request we also provide public Live Tracking overviews for the event to be followed live from a remote audience.

The battery consumption when the Live Tracking is in use is very limited and the impact on battery consumption is about 5-8% more than the normal phone consumption without Live Tracking enabled. When combining it with Navigation or manual Tracking mode the consumption is obviously higher and so we suggest using a power bank for this.

With WHIP LIVE you can navigate and download the official event tracks* or upload your own GPX files to follow the track and get turn-by-turn instructions at every intersection on roads and trails.

As you may have already experienced when using apps that access your location in the background, Android's automatic closing of background apps is a recurring issue.

To prevent WHIP LIVE from closing during Live Tracking, you will be guided during the event registration process through the necessary steps to avoid this problem.

Depending on your device version, WHIP will prompt you to complete two optional steps, which we strongly recommend:

Remove the app from battery-optimized apps

Set the app to manual management (to allow auto-launch)
