How the System Works

Uploading Files

You can upload new files using two options:

  • Local Only: Files remain on your device and are not uploaded to the cloud.
  • Upload to Cloud: Files are uploaded securely to Cloud Storage and can be accessed later from any device when logged into the same account.

Please note: To use cloud features, including uploading to or selecting files from the cloud, you must have an account. You can create an account with your email or sign in via Google using the buttons in the top right corner.

Important: Avoid uploading/selecting multiple files at once from different dates, as the map functionality only displays races at what time they were raced. If you want to compare races on different dates, open multiple browser tabs and upload/select each file.

Selecting Files from Cloud

If you choose to select from cloud storage, you can manage all the files you have previously uploaded, including selecting which ones to load and view.

Using the Map Interface

After uploading locally or selecting from the cloud, the map will load automatically.

  • Top Left Corner: Displays general information about the current view.
  • Boat Markers: Black circles represent boats. Click a marker to view detailed, real-time data as the boat moves.

Controls (Bottom of Screen)

  • View Selector: Switch between Satellite or Basic map views.
  • Track/Trail Selector: Toggle between the full race track (Track) or recent movement trail (Trail).
  • Race Selector: Choose which race data to display if multiple are available.
  • Play/Pause: Start or pause the animation of boat movement.
  • Speed Multiplier: Adjust playback speed.
  • Time Slider: Manually control the displayed time on the map.
  • Back to Home: Return to the upload/select from cloud screen.

Most controls are self-explanatory, but this guide helps you navigate and use the system efficiently.
