Vikazimut is a project of students from the National Engineering School ENSICAEN which aims to facilitate the practice of orienteering sports. The application replaces the map, the compass and the control card and displays a retrospective analysis of the route taken. The orienteer uses the application to find the way using the map and validates the passage at the checkpoints manually with the Qr code or automatically with the GPS position. At the end of the course, the application displays some statistics: the total time, the split times and the course trace on the map. Vikazimut comes in two modes. A race mode where the orienteer is not helped for the position and a walk mode where the orienteer is positioned on the map in real time. In walk mode, some routes display cultural information at the checkpoints
