SR tip No 1

Some best practices to keep in mind while creating new challenges:
• Place checkpoints in areas where you are likely to have a good GPS signal, in other words avoid placing checkpoints deep in the forest or right in between tall buildings.
• Make sure you zoom in as far as the map allows on every checkpoint in order to position them with greatest possible precision.

Perform better

We want you to perform better, to stand on top of your goals. Here is some reading to get you there; Core Performance Endurance.

Ride like a champion!

Using our core feature "challenges" is a great way to stay motivated, here's an other; The Lance Armstrong Performance Program. Take part of it, hit the tarmac on your favorite challenge and beat that old high score.

Create a "Challenge"

CHALLENGE

Racing on a specific dedicated track! Create race tracks (challenges) and try to beat the highscore. You can share your challenges or take on the challenges of other users! Live view on race progress (position in race etc.), location, distance, pace and more.

Challenge is a form of racing and one of the core features of Softrace. While the racing mode lets you compete anywhere in the world, challenges let you compete on real world courses. It could be compared with a pinball machine; one course and one high score for anyone to take on. But this time you physically will try to beat the high score in different motion based sports. In real time, in real life. You can easily create your own challenges and share them so that other users can try to beat the high score on your challenge.

A course is made up of a number of checkpoints where each checkpoint is the proximity of a given coordinate. The checkpoints are numbered and must be taken in order, starting with checkpoint »1«. A checkpoint is considered taken as soon as you have entered its proximity.

So, make a challenge of your favourite track and be among the first to share it with the world! All you need to know about getting started with "Challenges" is captured in the Help section in your Softrace application on your handset.
