With the Map Run through the sports year

The “MapRun” is an important app for us, with which we want to implement some sporty ideas this year. Thanks to the great cooperation with the orienteering club Graz (www.olc-graz.at), who among other things translated the app into German for us, we can regularly offer the people of Graz exciting and eventful campaigns.

  • Download the “MapRun6” from the corresponding store onto your mobile phone by clicking on the green buttons.
  • Open the app, register with your name and your details.
  • Go to the “Events near me” button in the app (the events in Graz should appear here: 7 Summits Extreme WalkRun and 7 Summits Extreme Bike)
  • Or you simply click on the respective link (blue button) for the relevant event below on your smartphone and it will be carried out automatically. If you want to start an event for the first time ("Go to the start") you will be asked to register beforehand.
  • Here we go - have fun moving! 😉

What else you have to consider:

  • Please make sure that the smartphone you are using is fully charged.
  • GPS data is permanently recorded, please do not change the energy-saving standard settings in the app.
  • Switch off / reduce additional energy consumers on the smartphone if possible - brightness, Bluetooth, WLAN, other apps, etc.
  • In the case of longer competition times or older smartphones / batteries, it is strongly recommended that you take additional mobile batteries (power bank) with you.
  • If the remaining storage time is very low (<20%), the smartphone can also be switched off in between - no GPS data is then recorded, but when it is switched on again, the passage of the respective stations is registered. However, it can take up to a few minutes until a GPS connection is re-established (so switch it on again in good time).
  • If you switch off the smartphone in between (or lose the connection for other reasons), you have to open the app after re-entering and you will then be asked whether you want to continue the current event.
  • There is also a function "GPS energy saving mode" in the settings - you can switch this on yourself before starting the event.
