MotoTracker verifies waypoint visits and ride completion using tracking methods configured by the ride organizer. Your ride page will show which method(s) are enabled — and which are required.
Key point: riders don’t pick the method. The ride setup defines the rules; you follow what your ride requires.

Tracking Methods
Your ride may use one or more methods. The ride setup determines what’s required.

No, the ride organizer configures the ride. MotoTracker will display what the tracking requirements are for each waypoint/waypoint group associated with the ride.

If enabled for the ride, GPX upload and/or photos with exif data can document your waypoints and be uploaded later when you have connectivity.
Only if you want push notifications. GPS tracking itself uses Traccar Client.
