About
Loctome Sports Live Tracking is a cloud platform designed for real-time monitoring of athletes and outdoor adventurers across multiple disciplines including running, cycling, paragliding, paramotor, hang gliding, and nautical sports. The platform aggregates GPS signals from multiple sources — including Android and iOS apps (via FlySkyHy and skyVario), satellite trackers such as SPOT, and sport-specific GPS devices like FlyMaster — to deliver live position data alongside metrics such as altitude, speed, accumulated elevation, and total distance traveled. Athletes can record and share their real-time position and planned routes either publicly or privately with friends, family, and followers across social networks. Spectators can track any athlete in real time from any standard web browser, with no additional software installation required. Event organizers gain access to a dedicated logistics and media layer featuring custom sponsorship banners, predefined routes, checkpoint and supply-point markers, and full post-event replay functionality. Built by athletes for athletes, Loctome prioritizes reliability and ease of use in remote, safety-critical environments. With thousands of users worldwide, the platform serves individual outdoor sports enthusiasts, professional pilots, adventure racers, and large-scale outdoor event organizers who need real-time situational awareness, participant safety monitoring, and dynamic audience engagement tools.
