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.
A quick guide on how to add your own route for an event you competed in.
RouteGadget is quite intuitive and easy to use. It has its own set of instructions, but here’s a short summary to give you a quick start:
You can upload a route recorded on your GPS into RouteGadget. Your GPS route can be in addition to your manually plotted route.
I use a Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS (Global Positioning System) to record my route whilst orienteering.
This unit has an advanced SiRFStarIII chip that allows it to lock onto satellites quicker & keep them, this is what makes it so good for orienteering.
Quote from Nick Barrable: “You could certainly do so much more feedback and coaching back in the warm and dry by the PC, especially with developing athletes”.
