MapRun

• MapRun is an orienteering app for your smart phone that uses a set map and course along with your gps tracked location to virtually "punch" at each checkpoint.

• MapRun is free and available at the App Store or Play Store.

• Set up a profile.

• You can scan the QR code on their printed Map to load the course. When you hit "Start Now" the course will start and automatically punch S1. The course will be finished when you cross the finish or exit the course in the app.

• When a checkpoint is visited, the phone will vibrate and give a punch noise.

• If you are lost, there is a 'show me' button in the app. This can be used up to 20x to show your current location.

Course 1 Information:

• Two course options are available, a beginner course approximately 3-4km in length and an intermediate course approximately 6-8km in length.

• Both courses are designed as point to point, meaning you navigate to each checkpoint in numerical order.

• Both courses start from the main gate at Kivi Park.

• The course is entirely digital. There are no physical flags set up in the park. All checkpoints are located on distinct landmarks (such as trail bends, crossings, and hills).

• Maps can be downloaded below.

• At the end of the 3-week period we will post a leaderboard for the course. Try as many times as you want!

• Happy Orienteering!

• Feel free to share photos, follow, and tag us on Strava and Facebook.
