Hint: When you first open an event page, the Event Comment Box has a ">" option. To test your memory, try drawing your route and then uploading your GPS route and compare. A drawn route will replace the default point to point route used in animations and the speed between controls will be based on the split times. Make sure your drawing actually 'Snap' - it should change the blue line to the next control. With "Snap on/off" set 'On', your route will snap to each control point as you reach it (using 'Off' sometimes seems to result in a bug). Select your course and name and, using the mouse click, draw your path between controls. If you do not have a GPS file you can draw your route from memory by clicking the "Draw your route" box on the upper right of the page. Add any comment in the comment box andīe patient - it will take 20-30 seconds for your file to upload.Note that you can "lock" portions of your route from moving by breaking it up with blue dots. Drag a blue dot to a new location to adjust the track. Look for blue dots on your route or right click to add/remove the blue dots. Prior to saving your route, you can make adjustment to compensate for GPS or Map inaccuracies.In this case you will need to move your route to overlay properly on the map. If the map has not been georeferenced this will be noted in the Event Comment box. As mentioned, in most cases the map will be georeferenced so your GPX file based route should appear fairly correctly placed on the map but small errors in the GPS (or the map) may impact the accuracy.Remember that your GPS track recorded will not be completely accurate so do not expect it to always show up exactly along trails, for example. For some events with no split times (punch events for example), it will be noted in the event comments section on the RouteGadget Event that you need to use "Manual" calibration. Keep in mind that until you do the final SAVE you can back out and start again but after you SAVE, you will need to contact us to have a bad route removed.
If it does not look right, retry with the other calibration method. In either case, you can fine tune your route before actually saving it (see para 7 below). In most cases using the default "Splits Based" will work fine, however, IF YOU HAVE ONE OR MORE MPs OR STARTED YOUR WATCH WELL AFTER THE START THEN USE "MANUAL" CALIBRATION. "Manual" will not do any adjustments to the route but, as the map is normally georeferenced, only minor adjustments, if any, should be needed. With remote starts, you may need to adjust the Time Offset slider when using 'Splits Based'. This option will also compensate for a slightly early or late watch start/finish. ‘Calibration’ has two options: “Splits Based” will automatically make minor adjustments to the route to match control locations to the time and map location.You have another chance before you are committed! FIT will not work – there is a short explanation of options to convert at the end of this guide) Note that this "Okay" does NOT save anything, just overlays the route for adjustments.

Once you have analyzed your own route, how about seeing the routes of other runners and comparing choices. If you have a GPS watch and have recorded your race, you can upload this to the site and view your actual route – not the one you thought you did! Or try drawing your route from memory and then uploading your GPS file to compare. Orienteering Ottawa RouteGadget events are hosted by Orienteering Canada on their website.Īfter the completion of an Orienteering Ottawa event, the maps and results will be uploaded to the RouteGadget website where runners can view the courses, select up to 10 competitors from a course and replay the race by simulating a “Mass Start”. Jarrko’s website has an index linking to RouteGadget sites from 22 countries and over 11,000 events. RouteGadget is a free web utility developed by a Finnish orienteer Jarrko Ryypo, which is designed to give orienteers the ability to upload (GPS) or draw and share their routes.
