iOrienteering allows you to create and time races which involve navigation or passing through checkpoints.

You can use QR codes to create a physical course or GPS to create a course with no physical controls at the points to be visited. On these GPS courses, the app can work in the background, so your phone can be put away in a bag or rucksack, allowing you to time a race without having your phone out. The app is designed to be robust and reliable.

An updated dashboard serves the new version of the app. PLEASE NIOTE: The full website needs a wide screen to look at the maps when creating or editing a course, so it only works on a computer or laptop. On the website version for mobile phones, most functions are turned off, as you need a wide screen to design courses visually.

The event map can be displayed in the app for runners to use, or it can be hidden, allowing the phone to be used solely for timing, while the participants use a paper map or similar tool.

In addition to normal 'checkpoints,' we have now added 'breakpoints' which pause the clock during an event. These allow for safety breaks, for example, to facilitate an untimed road crossing. They can be used in other ways, for example, to create a break for a food stop or a kit check.

Warnings can be turned on or off. The warnings provide users with feedback if they attempt to proceed to a checkpoint out of order. Great for beginners and helpful to users, but not necessary in proper competitions.

Results can be uploaded to the website more reliably and then viewed easily on the app or website.

Sub-accounts can be created and linked to the main account. We only need basic information for a sub-account, making them ideal for schools, families, or groups where one person manages the users.

Courses can be copied- Make a large, private event containing all your checkpoints, then copy this course multiple times to create individual courses from this master course. Delete the controls you will not need and sort the remaining controls into the correct order.

The basic app still works well offline - you don't need a mobile signal at the event centre for the app to function as a timing device, but extra additional features are available in areas with good mobile coverage.
