Quick Start Guide

If you are new to MyOMaps, see below for  some suggested ways to start:

Orienteer using your SmartPhone:
  • Enter your name and details 
  • Select an Event from the server or Reload an event from a local copy on the Smartphone
  • Select the type of event – course/scatter and user punch/auto punch
  • Start Event

Record a Track 
  • Select an Event (if you want to use a course/map - otherwise the default is the Google Map)
  • Tap "MyTracks" on the main screen 
  • Tap  "Record".
  • Press the power button momentarily on your SmartPhone to blank the screen, then pop the device into your running case/holder and set off.
  • Wake the phone up at the end - and press Stop and confirm OK to stop, then save the 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.
