Smartphone App - MyOMaps
With this option all you need is an Android Smartphone and the free MyOMaps App. The App is not currently available for iPhones, but Android devices are relatively inexpensive or you ou can borrow an Android by contacting xxxxx.
The MyOMaps App:
- lets you select a course/map from the range available
- displays the course/map on the screen (but not your current location - so you can't use the SmartPhone for GPS navigation)
- records your GPS track - and beeps and vibrates at the required locations
- the advantage of this is that you can be sure you have visited all the required locations in the right sequence while you are running
- a second advantage is that you don't need a printed map (although you can still use one if you wish)
- at the end of the run, your results are displayed on the Smartphone and you can upload the results with a simple tap of a button
- your results and placing will be published online immediately.
