Tools

Read-only, and every tool takes units: metric or imperial, else the asker’s region, else the event’s country with the other in brackets.

find_person

Finds someone racing live by name, livedot handle or follow link. One clear match answers at once; several become a picker, and the assistant asks one short question instead of guessing.

where_is

Where they are now: km and mile, time against their goal, pace, finish time, the weather there and on the road ahead, and Follow live.

event_status

How a live race is going: how long it’s been under way, how many are out, who’s in front.

event_weather

Race-day weather along the course at the times people get there: the live forecast inside 10 days, 10 years of weather on the date beyond.

fly_route

A flyover of the course in the chat, coloured by the weather along it, with Fly it in 3D.

tour_route

A Windline cycling tour, day by day, with the weather, and a GPX link for each day when the organiser shares route files.

tour_notes

Beta: a tour organiser’s own notes for riders (what to pack, meeting points), quoted in their words.

One forecast engine

The weather comes from Windline’s engine, the same as the apps and every livedot page, so the numbers match everywhere: Apple Weather for the next 10 days, 10 years of Copernicus ERA5 records beyond.

Live, from the apps

Positions, goals and finish times come from Windline (cycling) and RunFast (running), the same public live pages anyone can open.

Private by design

Only people who chose to be findable, on public races. No position when someone’s stopped or near the start or finish, and nothing kept about who asked.
