Quick Start Guide
If you are new to MyOMaps, see below for some suggested ways to start:
Orienteer using your SmartPhone:
Record a Track
Make your own Course using Google Maps
If you want to set a course, even if you don't have OCAD or Corpse and even if you don't have an Orienteering Map of the area you want to use, you can set course on a Google Maps base just using the Google Maps website from your PC. This is a really easy way to get started and is fine for simple Street Orienteering or Park Orienteering. For more details click here.
