If your tracker does not show up in the app, please make sure to activate your GPS on your phone. If you are using an Android device, please also make sure to activate your GPS.
I recorded a run with my Crossbox tracker. How can I analyze it now on my smartphone?
Enable Bluetooth and Wifi at your smartphone. Go in the Crossbox App and tap “Add Run” in the overview menu or open the CROSSBOX menu.  Press REFRESH and a list with all the recorded sessions will be visible. Select the session you would like to import. After the syncing process got completed you can create a new track where you set your Start/Finish line and section lines, or you can select an already created track. Crossbox automatically detects your position and suggests existing tracks from others. We recommend choosing the most popular track to compare your laps with track users in the ranking.
What’s the difference between recording a run on the tracker and a “Live-Run”?
Recording a run means that you only ride with your Crossbox tracker on the helmet which stores all the laps. The session will get analyzed after the ride in the CrossBox app.

In a “live run” you connect your tracker via bluetooth with your smartphone. In this mode you need to carry your smartphone while riding. The benefit of this mode is that you or your coach will receive real-time information about your lap times, section times, heart rates and more. The “live run” feature will be available shortly!

What is the „Lap X”?
“Lap X“ is the theoretical fastest lap. Your fastest sections from all laps of your session will get pieced together.
Is it possible to change the unit from kilometers to miles?
Yes, you can change the unit in the app settings. When you select miles, the speed is displayed in miles and the jump distance is displayed in feet.
How can I compare myself with a friend?
In the Crossbox Lap Timing App you can connect with friends. Once linked, you can analyze your friends’ data and compare their laps with your laps. Note that you must have selected the same track to compare your laps.
What is the track leaderboard?
Each created track has a leaderboard that shows best lap times of all riders who did a run on this track configuration.
I want to compare my lap with a lap of a rider in the track ranking. How do I proceed?
Open the “Tracks” menu. Choose the track and you will get navigated to the leaderboard where you can select a lap of any rider to compare. After selecting the competitors lap, you will get navigated to a menu where you can select your own lap.
I am a trainer/father/friend and I want to analyze several riders in my Crossbox app. How do I proceed?
Open the “Sessions” Menu and click on your own name on the top of the screen. You will get navigated to a screen where you can link other riders. Send them a friend request and after they accept your request, you will be able to view all of their data.
My session says ``0 Laps``, why?
If you get zero laps in your analyzation, there might be something wrong with your track setup. The track that you had used might not be suitable for your ridden laps.

  1. Enter the session which shows zero laps
  2. Click on settings (right top)
  3. Click on “Change configuration”
  4. Select a different track or create a new one by tapping the “New track” button.

Always make sure that all the gates intersect with all laps and that no gate reaches in a different part of the track. Check out our tutorial video here: https://youtu.be/Tyu8wzbec2Q?t=41

Which GPS receiver can I use?
At the moment there are two trackers which are compatible with the Crossbox application. The Crossbox tracker “CBX30” (€259) and the “Dual XGPS160” (€189). Keep in mind that features like acceleration & braking points, heart rate connection, jump analytics and race start analysis are only available with the Crossbox CBX30 tracker. Additionally, the CBX30 is waterproof. The Dual XGPS should not be used on wet conditions.
What are the benefits of the CBX30 tracker?
The CBX30 is using the latest and best GPS components. It also has 6D motion sensors, which allows accurate start and jump analysis, as well as an analysis of the braking and acceleration behavior. It is waterproof and includes a buzzer (beep noise at start and stop) which allows taking action while the helmet is on. The CBX30 ist the newer version of the CBX20 and it has a stronger hardcase, improved battery life-time, epoxy overmold for better durability (vibration resistant) and a stronger charging cable.
Where is the GPS receiver mounted? Can I also mount in on my bike?
Please use the provided 3M DUAL LOCK adhesive strip to attach the Crossbox tracker to your helmet or your neckbrace. The new secure-mount plate (which is optionally available in our webshop) allows you to mount the CBX30 on your bike. However, strong vibrations of your bike can negatively influence the CBX30 as well as the Dual XGPS160, therefore we only recommend wearing it on your body. The 1 year warranty won’t cover damages caused by vibrations of the bike.

How do I use the Crossbox tracker and what do the different signal lights indicate?
Keep the power button (located on top of the receiver) pressed until the LED light starts turning orange. Wait until the light turns solid green which indicates that the receiver has found a valid GPS signal. To activate recording, tap the power button once and the green light will start blinking. Finish your session with another tap of the power button.
How long does the battery last and how do I charge it?
The battery of the Crossbox tracker lasts for up to 8 riding hours and is fully charged after 3 hours. If the battery level drops below 30%, charging is recommended. The GPS hardware must be charged with the included magnetic charging cable.
How can I update my firmware?
As soon as a new firmware is available, you will automatically receive a notification in the app (open the Menu “Crossbox” and connect your CBX tracker via bluetooth). There you can update the firmware with just one click. We highly recommend updating your firmware if a new update is available.
Is my Crossbox tracker waterproof?
