Useful tips using MapRun6
When using MapRun6 it is best to either hold your phone or strap it to your upper arm to maintain a good GPS signal. It does sometimes take a short time to register. Listen out for the beep when you have got to the control to make sure it registers on MapRun6. Make sure that any power saving function is switched off so that the app continues to run in the background.
At the finish MapRun6 will automatically upload your results or you can do it yourself. If your results state that you did not finish or you mispunched but you did actually go to all the gates you can revise your results using the HITMO function on the MapRun6 app. Click on Show Results then select the event you want to modify your results on. On My Results click on the 3 horizontal bars on the top right of the screen and select Review Results (HITMO). For more details click here.
Please note the following if you choose to participate you take part at your own risk. Please be considerate towards other park users.
