Control is an app for orienteers. It is the perfect app for keeping track of your orienteering courses and analyzing them. It allows you to record a track in the app or import your existing track from a gpx/fit file. You can also import a track directly from Garmin Connect, COROS, Suunto or Polar if you subscribe to Total Control. View the track on any map image you add to the app. Either import an image file from a scanner or take a picture right in the app, then calibrate and adjust the track. Browse your course point-by-point, see the pace, HR, altitude along the way. Mark notes for later use. Pace zone stats let you view the pace which you had in the different sectors of the track. You can also replay the track with the speed you want. You can export the route you took in GPX format as well as a fully-customizable image of the orienteering map and your route. Export the track to Livelox or export track and the map to Digital Orienteering Map Archive. Save a video from a specific time with configurable length & gps tail length. Compare routes lets you add another route on the same map for comparing different route choices. And with What If -functionality, you can even draw an alternate route and speculate how much better your time would've been without that one silly mistake.
