Sharing with dotTrackIt.
One of the central purposes of dotTrackIt is to allow members to share their adventures and experiences with friends, family and enthusiasts.
Each track tells it's own particular story, be it your progress through the mountains, your adventures on the river, just where the tricky downhill section was, where you took the lead or how other boats reacted to the changing conditions. Each different activity and sport can use the track information in its own novel and unique ways.
As the tracking information is uploaded to dotTrackIt, there are a number of editing functions to filter or trim unwanted sections from the track data or splice multiple tracks together.
After dotTrackIt has saved your data within it's database, dotTrackIt allows you to publish your tracks and generates a unique friendly URL which you can circulate or use within the many social networking sites. You only need to be a member to originate a track, anyone can view the track or event through the friendly url.
The dotTrackIt viewer allows people to replay the track, overlay an associated route, pause, rewind or fast forward using the familiar Google Maps interface.
Replaying tracks is a fun way to view an activity, if the replay is paused, each track can display a simple pop-up that shows track information so far.
You can even do the same for multiple tracks, so that you could view and replay the track data from multiple devices on the same screen.
dotTrackIt allows you to control if your track is publically discoverable. Only after you have explicitly shared a track or an event within the system can other peoples find it. More private tracks can be shared by exchanging the internal track identifying URL.
dotTrackIt also allows members to export track data in GPX format for distribution and use in other applications or another GPS. There a comprehensive features to simplify the track data to reduce the number of track points stored against the track. dotTrackIt also enables the conversion of the track data into route data. Route data allows others to follow in your tracks and lets you show the key navigational points.
As the competitive streak gets stronger, dotTrackIt is able to scale up and support competitive race events in a wide variety of sports. The racing pedigree of the dotTrackIt engine makes it easy to create and manage multi leg race series with multiple entrants.
