A modern way of orienteering training using GPS.


Orienteering without the need to set out controls points!Draw the course in the smartphone, run the course and evaluate the race directly using the smartphone. You can see a result table, your route on map and a result profile. You can also replay the race and compare with one or more opponents.The GPS will detect when you are at the controlpoint and will automatically punch. All you need is a map in jpg/png/gif-format.It is simple to arrange a training event with the GPS Orienteering app. Just publish a course (and map) inside the app. The participants can download the course, run the course and upload their result. Everyone can then download the results and see a result table for the event, view and replay the tracks and more. All within the app!The courses can be one of four different types: standard orientering, free order orienteering, rogaining or scatter orienteering.A unique feature is maze orienteering! You can overlay a random, virtual maze to your course. Export the map to get a printable version. You will get an audible feedback when your are close to a maze wall and when you cross a wall. Voice assistance during the race gives you a spoken message when you punch. It also tells you the remaining time at rogaining races every fifth minute. Orienteering support during a race can show your position on the map, show distance/direction to next control point, voice message distance/direction to next control point and/or course drift voice message (at a configured interval) of your course relative to the straight course by a spoken message such as On course or Drift 23 meters left. Georeference maps using a world file or kml-file. World files are for example created at export of maps from OCAD 10/11/12. Kml-files can be created when georeferencing a map in Google Earth. You can also import maps in kmz-format, for example maps exported from MapAnt.fi.Import courses i gpx or kml format. OCAD can export courses in gpx-format that can be imported by the app.Download course height data from Google. View course height profile course climb. The height data is also used to calibrate the height data measured by the smartphone during a race.Upload training results to Strava!Export course maps to jpg-files for printing on a colour printer.Create maps based on MapAnt-maps

Works well. Sadly it was a bit to expensive

Whether your using this for events or your own trainings it is the best gps orienteering tool for those who want to do things quickly and easily. Everything is much more straight forward and intuitive than maprunf and the possess is much better. Only thing missing is a way to manually punch after you finish the course so you do not have to have your phone out (only really an issue for high profile events).

Best Orienteering app on Play Store. Easy to create and adjust courses and upload to secure server. Being able to compare results and tracks easily by itself is a great feature and the app can do a lot more. Developer is very responsive to support and improvements.

Maze is great idea! But any chance to edit the lines?

John Pangolin

Only the basic functions work fine. Maze mode: if you cross virtual walls, there is a signal, but the course result is ok even if you go across the wall. Public map function unavailable despite description. Developped do not answer emails. This seems like a dead project.

excelent

Works as advertised. Great app to make it possible to run a course even after a racing event is over and the controls have been removed. Highly recommended! Of course it takes a little work to get used to importing maps and defining courses, but give it a few hours and you'll be fine. When running in forest, your phone may repeatedly lose the GPS signal; just get a "GPS connected" app (free) and perhaps a separate GPS receiver (eg Garmin GLO, about EUR 100, weighs 60 g), which connects to your phone via Bluetooth. After I did both, it works great!

I bought this to set up a course for the boyscout it does not do what it says. Do not waste your money. It would not let me create points. I do not believe it even uses the gps it is a scam.

Works well but annoying that it forces landscape for map view. Support for Android wear would be nice as well.

Tried this out during a club event on Sunday on an old street/park map. Worked really well. Had to use the manual punch once where the map was dodgy. Calibrating the map was easy. Minor quibbles are: took a moment to work out how/where to put map jpeg file (not in help as yet) and hard to locate control circles precisely (hidden under finger). Neither big issues and can see lots of use for training, control set up and low key events. Well worthwhile!
