New MapRun for Haughmond Hill

3/10/2020

0 Comments

 
To get some training on terrain there are now some colour coded courses set up on Haughmond Hill with MapRun and using some of the Permanent Orienteering Course marker posts.  We are trying a new combination whereby you visit some POC marker posts with a few virtual controls in between to vary the route from the normal POC.

Don't be confused, its easy really!
All you do is just start the MapRun app at the start, do the course and get a result at the end, that's it.  There is nothing else to do!


Follow these steps:
1  Visit Wrekin's website, download and print the map to navigate with for the course you want to run.
 

2  Log in to Map Run then go to Haughmond Hill. Only click "Go to Start", when you are about to start and are at the start point

3  Navigate on the paper map, ignore the MapRun map on your phone it does not have the POC controls and is not a proper detailed orienteering map.  Go to all the controls, but not all will give a Ping in the Map Run App.

4 When you finish MapRun gives you a result.


So, some controls are virtual MapRun ones and there is no marker there, but you will get a Ping when you are within the circle.

Some controls are POC marker posts and you will not get a MapRun Ping, you just find the post and move on for those ones.  There is nothing to write down or punch.  But if you have visited all the controls then MapRun will have a series of controls you were timed at and a GPS track showing that you went round the whole course.  

All you do is just start the MapRun app at the start, do the course and get a result at the end, that's it.

We have done it this way so that the MapRun controls are in places where there should be a good GPS signal to help avoid people struggling to get a Ping at some controls under tree cover..

Have fun,
Duncan Bayliss
