The Event account works much like your personal Ride with GPS account, except it can be used by multiple members to administer routes for your event-planning organization. Each Event account has its own list of routes, event pages, calendar, and can be used to plan new routes.
Get Started with your Event Account
When you sign into Ride with GPS, you will always be signing into your personal account. We assign event account permissions to your personal account, which allows you to dynamically control who has access to your event account assets.
- After you sign into your personal account, click the icon on the lefthand navigation bar on your dashboard.
- Your new Event Account page will have a default event account icon until you upload your own logo icon.
- Click the icon to access your event account page.
