Main page

This is the main page of the application.

Important

Tracky runs also in background mode. Just make sure not to close the app accidentally when putting it in background.

Start/stop tracking​

In the bottom part of the screen there is a Play/Pause button, the most fundamental feature of the application which allows you to start/stop the tracking activity.

Important

Only when tracking is active you'll be able to send and receive alarms and messages.

At the very bottom there are 4 buttons to navigate through the different parts of the application and access different features:

  • Map/HUD
    Messages
    Phone call
    Settings

    • Map/HUD interface​

    This is the main part of the application. There are two possible views:

    By default, the HUD view is displayed. To switch between map and HUD, use the button.
    Important

    It is reccomended to display the HUD as opposed to the map when not necessary, since the continuous rendering and updating of the map requires more battery power than the HUD.

    Map view​

    Very similar to any navigation application, the map interface allows you to follow your location on a map, to see the surrounding area and change the map's layer type. Your current speed and the speed limit (if enabled) is shown in the top-left corner of the screen.

    HUD view​

    In the HUD view there is no map and it only shows some information about you, the current speed and the current time.

    Messages​

    With the button you can navigate to your chat with race control. A badge will be displayed whenever new messages are received.

    See the Messages page for further details.

    Phone call​

    With the button you can directly call the emergency number (if provided by the event organizer) from within the app, instead of typing it in your phone's dialer.

    Settings​

    With the button you can navigate to the app settings.

    See the Settings page for further details.
