ONE-TIME SETUP
REQUIRED INITIAL SETTINGS
1. INSTALL TrailCore Radar from App Store or Google Play if you haven't already.
2. SET UP PERMISSIONS — otherwise GPS tracking stops and you'll show up as a stuck dot on the map!

3. SETTINGS TAB (⚙️)
- Enter your Name and phone number (required); they're saved on your phone and you can edit them anytime. When you join a race, the organizer receives them to identify you on the map.
- Enter your Emergency contacts (optional) — other phone numbers or emails available to you. They're saved only on your phone: they'll be used in the future as new features are introduced, but today they are not sent to the organizer (not even with SOS).
How it works
RACE DAY
- Open the app and tap → RUN → JOIN AN EVENT.
- Enter the 4-digit CODE from the organizer, then tap → JOIN.
- Turn GPS on by tapping the green toggle "Tracking Live (GPS)"
- DURING THE RACE turn off the screen and put the phone in your pocket, but don't close the app :-)
- AT THE END OF THE RACE (or if you withdraw) press EXIT ✕ and confirm with I'VE FINISHED or ABANDON (DNF), so everyone can see your status on the map. Pressing EXIT ✕ automatically stops GPS tracking
ONLY IF NEEDED
