Taking place June 7/8th at Glenfinnan, Scotland.
RouteGadget will be used to allow the competitors to draw their route and view the routes of others.
A copy of the event basemap is available here.

Described by its developer, Jarkko Ryyppö, as a “Web utility for drawing and comparing orienteering routes”.
This allows competitors to draw and compare their routes. RouteGadget not only shows the routes, it allows the race to be replayed, even simulating a mass start. You will actually see little squares move across the map. It really adds another dimension to post-race analysis.

This explains the process that you need to go through to get an event up and working if you are using RouteGadget UK. Last updated March 07.

You can have an installation on your own computer. Electronic results data is not required but could be used if available. It could be useful at a training camp.
These things are often part of the overprint (purple bits) along with the course and are not on the OCAD map file that is used for the background map in RouteGadget. So are not visible when someone is looking at routes etc.
