Organizer Setup

To run the Safety Tracking feature smoothly in production, it is recommended that both organizers and participants perform advance tests.

Preparation flow​

  1. Create a Safety Tracking Event in the app
  2. Confirm the event settings
  3. Assign a unique number to each participant
  4. Share usage guidance in advance
  5. Prepare enough play slots
  6. Publish the event before the morning of the event day

Example recommended settings for an orienteering competition:

  • Show participant current location on a map: OFF
  • Share the live map with everyone: OFF
  • Require Entry Number input: ON
  • Background Map: set an O-map if needed

For trail running and similar activities, it may make more sense to let participants see their own location. See Settings by activity type for details.

Participant number operation​

It is easier to operate if you assign a unique number to each participant and include it in the start list and guidance materials.

  • Tell the number on the day
  • Include it in the start list
  • Make it easy to confirm again at reception

What to guide participants in advance​

  • How to install the app
  • Location permission settings
  • Battery level and mobile data confirmation
  • How to start and how to stop on the day
  • How to use SOS

Participant-facing guidance is organized in Participant preparation and event-day flow.

Preparing play slots​

Safety Tracking uses the same pricing model as standard NaviTabi courses.

  • Up to 10 plays are free
  • Beyond that, additional play slots are added by in-app purchase

If you expect many users, it is safer to purchase in advance so you do not have to handle it in a rush on the day.
