Events

In Events you find the events you are entered in, arriving from your ODOCAP account with RoadBook, PRO or GPX; if they include tracking, it is set up from here.

Events

The events you are entered in arrive from your ODOCAP account with RoadBook, PRO or GPX: there is no code to type.

Load: Loads on this device an event that does not load by itself: several riders entered with the same address, or an event you had left.
Refresh: Reloads the events of your account and the event on this device.
Event code received: When you tap the link in an email already sent, Events shows the code with Load on this device: the event loads here.
Event information: Name, start, end and data deletion, shown in the event's local time: if this device shows another time, a yellow line below says so.
Which device should send your position?: With the same event on tablet and phone, only one sends the position. When the event arrives on the second one ODOCAP asks which; from Tracking you can change it whenever you want with Send the position from this device, and the other stops sending when it reloads the event, that is when ODOCAP, Tracking or Events is opened again.
Leave event: Deletes event files, GPX and tracking from this device. If the event is also on the other device of your account, it stays there; if this device was sending the position, tracking passes to the other one. If this is the last device, the tracking for the code is also deleted from the server, track included. The code remains valid on this device.

Event materials

The event RoadBook, PRO and GPX tracks are in Events, split by day, and open at their set time.

Notices: The organiser publishes notices (a cancelled note, a moved start, a detour), numbered, with the day and a link if needed. They reach Events within minutes, the Events tile on the home says how many are new, and while riding a black pill with Open appears. Read marks it as read.
Standard RoadBook: Opens the event PDF in the RoadBook.
RoadBook PRO: Opens the PRO package prepared by the organiser in RoadBook PRO.
GPX track: Opens the event track on the map, already switched on. If the offline map of the area is missing, ODOCAP asks whether to download it: Download or Not now.
Opens later: An item from a day that has not started yet says when it opens and how long is left: at the time shown it opens by itself.
The organizer has updated the materials: If the organiser changes a file during the event, ODOCAP downloads the new version and tells you here, in the RoadBook and on the map; on the Events tile on Home you read Materials updated.
Open the new one: An open roadbook does not change before your eyes: A new version of this roadbook has arrived appears, and Open the new one reopens it on the same note with the trip as it is.
Offline maps: With an event in progress, a new offline map can always be downloaded and does not use up those included in your account; it is deleted with the event data. The maps you already had stay yours.

Services during the event

What the organisers can do while the event is in progress: see you on the map, send you alerts and points to reach, receive your SOS and send you help.

Live position: The organisers see you on the map with your number, name and the time of the last update. With no network the app keeps the positions and sends them as soon as the signal returns.
Live tracking: complete permissions: With event tracking, Events reminds you of the two permissions: Always allow for the location and, on Android, Battery always. Without them, with the screen off, the organisers may no longer see you.
Send SOS: The SOS button is in the SOS section, on the map and in the RoadBook. It goes out with your coordinates and the message you write: the organisers see it at once on their map.
Status and replies: After sending, the SOS panel shows whether the request has been seen, taken on or closed, and the replies from the organisers. From there you can keep writing.
Assigned rescue: If the organisers send someone to you, you receive the rescuer's name and position. If instead you are the rescuer, you receive the rider's point to reach with the Navigate button, and you follow it on the map as long as their phone is sending positions.
Position to reach: The organisers can send you a point: you find it in the SOS panel with coordinates, sender, time and the Navigate button. It stays there even if you close the notification by mistake.
Route alerts: Messages from the organisers, for example a detour or a danger: a banner in the RoadBook, in RoadBook PRO and on the map, without interrupting navigation. If the alert carries a point, the banner has the Navigate button.
Wrong-way alert: If you ride the event track in the wrong direction, the organisers see it on their map and can automatically send you a message telling you so.
This event organiser's choice: For their event the organiser can switch off the countdown, the coordinates and their copying in the roadbook, and the turns on the map: when you tap the switched-off control, ODOCAP says the organiser decided it.
End of event: At the end time tracking stops, the event files no longer open and the Event over notice says what is removed and when: your tracks and your maps stay. If you withdraw earlier, use Leave event.

Remember

Events arrive from your ODOCAP account: sign in to the account with the email address you gave the organiser. They are valid on the devices of your account, two at most.
During the event only one device sends the position, and you choose which: when the event arrives on the second one, ODOCAP asks which one should send it; in Tracking the device that is not tracking has the button Send the position from this device.
If you have an email with the button to open ODOCAP, the link still works: tap it and choose Load on this device. The link never moves a code already in use on another device.
Event tracking is set up by itself from Events, even in a tracking-only event: in Tracking you see it, with no data to type.
Event files stay protected: they open while the event is valid and cannot be moved to the personal library or to the Cloud space.
Roadbooks, RoadBook PRO, tracks and maps of the event are saved on the device even without a subscription, and with the event in progress roadbook and map have all features on.
If the organiser has switched off sharing among friends for their event, from the start to the end of the event you cannot use it and your position is not sent to friends; it becomes available again when the event ends. In other events sharing stays as usual.
If the organiser removes you from the event, the event and its materials are removed from this device and tracking stops.
Without a network, Events shows the last list of events and the last materials read, marked No network: the ones already downloaded open.
The dates in Events are in the event's local time. If at the top of Events you read This device's clock is wrong, fix it before the event: on Android there is Open Date & time.

If something does not work

If you do not see your event in Events, check that the email address of your ODOCAP account is the one you gave the organiser: if it is different, ask them to correct it in the rider list.
If several riders in the same event are entered with your address, the event does not load by itself: press Load on the rider who uses this device.
If you read Code already in use, first check in Account that this device is among the Linked devices: if it is not, link it and try again. If it is linked, ask the organiser to press Unlock, then press Refresh in Events.
If the organiser presses Unlock, the device sending the position notices it the next time it sends and removes the event; to get back in, press Load on the event in Events.
If a file says Opens later, it opens by itself at the time shown; if at that time it is not yet on the device, you need the network to download it.
When the event is over, an open roadbook closes with EVENTO SCADUTO (event expired) and no longer opens, even if it stays on the device until the data deletion.
If a RoadBook PRO or a track is missing, the organiser has not planned it for you or for your days.
If Leave event fails, you need the network: try again.
If you answered Not my event or you left, the event does not come back by itself: in My events it has the Load button.
