Scheduled Activities are found in Events and are created by an Activity Coordinator. From the Home Screen > Play > Events.
Choose from (3) different types of Events: All Upcoming Events, My Scheduled Events, and Replay Past Event. Scheduled activities occur at a specific time and each activity tile will have a count down to the start time in the format of HH:MM:SS (Hours: Minutes: Seconds), and the actual date and start time for your time zone.
To schedule an event, click on the Join button on the activity tile, followed by the Schedule Ride button. It will then change to say Unschedule Ride in case you decide later you cannot join the event. If you have maps to download before the event, the Download Mini-Manager will display which maps you need to download. Do this well ahead of time to save yourself time when you join the event.
You can join a scheduled Event up to 30 minutes early and a pop up message will remind you in you are in game elsewhere. If the activity starts in the next 15 minutes, and you are in the Info (loading) screen, you will see a Join Ride button instead of a Schedule/Unschedule button. If you schedule an Activity more than 15 minutes before the start time, it will be added to My Scheduled Events and, 15 minutes before the activity starts, you will again be reminded that you have a scheduled activity soon and asked if you want to portal to the map.
The first time you enter an Event, you may be greeted with different tutorials (e.g., How to Move (Physical), Understanding the HUD, Master Virtual Gears, Maximize Your Stamina, and more) depending on your action. You can also revisit any tutorials on the Home Screen or under the Help "?" button in the upper right of most screens.
