iOrienteering

Create and time orienteering races with iOrienteering, the robust navigation app that turns any route into a timed competitive course. Whether you're organizing a school event, family adventure, or formal competition, this app gives you complete control over course design, timing, and participant management—all from your Android device.

Build courses using two flexible methods: QR codes for physical controls at checkpoints, or GPS-based navigation that eliminates the need for on-the-ground markers. GPS courses are perfect for keeping your phone away during events—simply put it in your bag and let the app run in the background while it tracks your progress and time. The app is engineered to be reliable and work offline, so you don't need mobile signal at your event location for core timing functionality.

Manage every detail of your race with an intuitive dashboard. Introduce breakpoints alongside traditional checkpoints to pause the timer during untimed sections—ideal for safety road crossings, food stops, or equipment checks. Choose whether to display the event map in the app for runners or keep it hidden, letting participants navigate using paper maps while your phone focuses purely on timing. Enable optional warnings for less experienced participants to prevent out-of-order checkpoint attempts, or disable them entirely for serious competitions where strict navigation discipline is expected.

Scale your events effortlessly by creating sub-accounts linked to your main profile. Sub-accounts require only basic information, making them perfect for schools, families, or organizations where a single administrator manages multiple users. Duplicate master courses to create multiple event variants—build one comprehensive course with all possible checkpoints, then copy it as many times as needed. Remove unused controls and rearrange the rest to customize each version without starting from scratch.

Results management is streamlined: upload race data to the website reliably, then review outcomes on either the app or website with ease. Additional features unlock when you have good mobile coverage, but the app's core timing and tracking functions work dependably even in areas with no signal.

Whether you're a running club organizer, school PE teacher, or adventure race coordinator, iOrienteering delivers the tools you need to host professional, engaging navigation events with minimal setup.
