GLuvsMtb Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 You don't get it. They're asking you not to. It's not that you CAN do it, it's that you shouldn't. There's a difference.Immediately thought of this: arendoog, BigDL, Wannabe and 3 others 6

jcza Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I see Sportograf (official photographer, charging in Euros obviously) has a facility where rider can search for own images by uploading .gpx file. Now if tracking is not allowed where would said rider obtain such a file? Just wondering....... Â

jcza Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Tracking is allowed - not allowed is making it public... 6. RULE 14.1: No rider may track the route via the use of GPS units or by any other means. The use of GPS units to monitor heart rate, cadence, speed etc. is only allowed if the track log has been disabled.  It is the responsibility of the rider to switch off the tracking functionality.
Patchelicious Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Ok so this not allowing GPS tracking on public forums from an "act of good faith" point of has started to make a bit sense when thinking from an Epic perspective. It is not so much a true "act of good faith" as it is a mechnism to gain access to land. If I as the route planner from the Epic can sit infront of a land owner and tell them that no route through their land will be published, and that we as the Epic take a very strong stance on this, it will most definately improve my chances to gain access to their land. So its more a survival strategy for the route planners than it is a favour to the landowners.This makes sense and I can accept as a good reason. Would people actively go seek out some random climb 50km into a dudes farm because it was on Stage 4 of the 11th Epic, not so sure. But thats a different point. nathrix, GLuvsMtb and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3

Do you think they check the settings of each GPS unit?I think to remember that even in the official reminder email they nicely ask you to make the ride private on Strava - not to remove it. I really don't understand the rant about the tracking.Track it - keep it private for you as a memory. nathrix 1
SwissVan Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Why don't we get Hannele's opinion about the toughness of this ACE 2016?  She is one of a handful of people who can actually give a real answer....The rest of us should just shut up I think.. Dude she will just smile....  Edited March 24, 2016 by SwissVan karma and Wannabe 2

nathrix Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Dudes, again, read the mail they sent out! Â "Please ensure you made all your route tracking and uploads private". Â Nothing about not being allowed to upload it as long as it's private. Blarry hell.... Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

Blarry hell.... Don't track the route with GPS unit But if you do make it private I think they need to revise this. It is 2016 and times have changed. nathrix and GLuvsMtb 2
