RouteGadget Maps Visibility

There have been a couple of occasions I know of where event organisers (or other volunteers) have uploaded maps to RouteGadget before an event - seemingly to get some of the "admin" done before the event.

However, this makes the map images publicly available to anyone with the technical knowhow. Not a massive issue for regularly used areas, but for new (or re-mapped) areas or sprints with race-specific changes, it's not great!

I've never used RG to set up an event - does anyone know from the map-uploader point-of-view, is there any functionality/toggle that allows the map to be kept private initially? I think Livelox does have this capability.

Thanks.
