Race day

Check you're tracked, then look after your battery.

The Munga 2026 · 25–30 November 2026 · Bloemfontein to Wellington

At the start

  1. Open 3Trax Node. If there's a Finish setup card, deal with it now.
  2. Look for the event chip on the map. It says Live while the event runs.
  3. Check there's no “Location sharing is off” banner.
  4. Open the Tracking panel and check Last fix is recent.
  5. If the SOS button is there, note where it is. If not, ask the organiser what to do in an emergency.

Choosing a battery mode

Open the Tracking panel and use the mode picker.

  • Lite uses the least power, and sends about one position a minute while you're moving.
  • Dynamic sends more detail while someone is watching you, and backs off by itself as your battery falls.
  • High sends the most and ignores your battery. It's a poor choice for days on end, unless you have plenty of charge.

While you ride

You don't need to do anything. Close the app if you like: tracking carries on.

  • With no signal, positions wait on the phone. Pending in the Tracking panel shows how many.
  • The app stays signed in between days. It signs out by itself an hour after the event ends.
  • Don't sign out during the race. Tracking stops, and anything not yet sent is deleted.
  • If the phone switches off, tracking stops until you turn it on again.
