GPS Timing
All Drivers will be required to use GPS Applications OnXOffroad or GAIA. Drivers will be given a GPX file for all trails the week prior to EACH RALLY. This GPX file will have the track the rally staff took to map the course.
When drivers leave the start line, they will be required to start recording a track for the day. AT the end of the day (timing limit), you must stop and save your track. You can drive to find a camping location, but your recording the following day must pick-up where you left off.
Each day, drivers will be required to start and stop recording of their tracks on the route. Once drivers have completed all ROUTES and crossed the finish line, the TT staff will review the recorded tracks for accuracy. Based off GPS mapping, all drivers must be within 25ft of the GPX route line.
​
It will be very important to make sure you are recording during the rally and your phone/TABLET stays charged. We also HIGHLY recommend downloading the offline maps after importing the GPX files.
