How to create your race HQ map ?
In France, declaration-manifestations.gouv.fr is the platform you need to use to register your event. The platform includes a cartographic section, on which you can add your routes and the positioning of your various points of interest (refreshment points, first-aid posts, marshals, etc.). On Trace de Trail, you can upload your trail + points of interest in GPX format directly compatible with the platform.
How to download a GPX compatible declaration-manifestations ?
- Shape your route with points of interest
- On the route page, click on GPX
- Select GPX format compatible Declaration-manifestations and choose between using POI catégories or using the POI map display. Download GPX.
Which POIs are compatible ?
All POIs with a star
How to choose between "POI category" and "POI map display" ?
The choice depends on how you entered your POIs :
- If you have selected categories in the “Content” section -> use POI categories
- If you have only used the symbols or labels on the card -> use the POI map display

Trace de Trail offers you the possibility of creating time charts.
These tables are generated automatically from your tracks and the points of interest you choose to display in the time charts. This gives you the distance and altitude difference between the starting point and each point on the route (feed stations, summits, etc.), as well as the distance and altitude difference between each point.
How to create a time chart?
When adding points of interest to your route, select the category(ies) of your point and then tick Display in table
Please note ! When you select time barrier category, a window appears to allow you to enter the date and time of the cutoff
Where can I view the time chart?
The time chart can be viewed directly on your route page, under photos and descriptions.
When you click on a point in the chart, your position is zoomed directly onto the associated point of interest on the map.
