The Project
The initial App development was made possible by a grant from the Australian Sports Foundation (ASF).
The ASF Giving4Grassroots™ (G4G™) fund is a national small grants program that funds initiatives and programs aimed at increasing participation in grassroots and community sport throughout Australia.
G4G™ grants of up to $10,000 are available for successful applicants. These grants provide much needed funding to small non-profit sporting clubs and organisations up and down the country, and support a variety of projects intended to increase participation and provide greater opportunity for Australians to enjoy sport. Each year, G4G™ highlights a particular idea or theme to support; for 2014 that theme is “innovation” – where we are seeking to provide support to innovative community or grassroots projects focused on increasing youth participation in sport.
Further funding has been provided from Orienteering Victoria and the Australian Sports Commission via grants to Orienteering Australia.
The App
The MapRun App is a specific variant of the MyOMaps App (see below) for iPhone and Android, tailored for the MapRunners type of event (Time-limited score/scatter event). It is available free from the Apple App Store and Goolge Play Store.
The MyOMaps App was initially developed for Android, based on the Google MyTracks App. MyOMaps has a wide range of functions for mapping, course planning, placing controls and competing in events . The full version is available as a paid App on the Google Play Store.
A "Club" version, which provides all the functions required to participate in an event organised by a club, is available at no charge for iPhone and Android from the Apple Store and the Android Play Store..
The MyOMaps App can be used for MapRunners events (and a range of other event types).
For more information on the MyOMaps App see the MyOMaps Website.
