Ride with GPS has introduced two significant features enhancing the cycling experience: the Wildfire Layer and Waiver Functionality.
Wildfire Layer
The Wildfire Layer provides real-time information on active wildfires across the United States and Canada, updated hourly. This feature is accessible on the web, iOS, and Android platforms, allowing cyclists to plan routes while considering current fire conditions. By integrating this layer with existing wind and air quality layers, riders can make informed decisions to avoid hazardous areas and support first responders. (support.ridewithgps.com)
Waiver Functionality
The Waiver Functionality enables organizations to collect signed liability waivers directly within the Ride with GPS platform. This digital process streamlines the management of waivers for clubs, shops, and event organizers, eliminating the need for paper forms and separate waiver services. Admins can create, activate, and track waivers, while participants can sign them via the web or mobile app. This feature ensures accurate and consistent collection of waivers, enhancing legal compliance and event management efficiency.
