About

MapRunA

Read full description

MapRun enables a form of Orienteering that uses a SmartPhone or Watch App for punching and timing, avoiding the need to put out flags and units on the course. This saves time and effort for organisers, courses can be left open for extended periods of time, and instant feedback is provided with track, personal result and leaderboard results in the App.
