MapRun - Options and Settings

MapRun6  can be used in a wide range of scenarios and so there is a wide range of options/settings available.

Tap "Options and Settings" on the home screen to view and change settings.

Categories of Settings

Settings are in four categories:
  • Device
    • ​For example, the GPS source, and the MapRun server
  • ​Event Display Options
    • ​These relate to how an Event will be displayed on the screen
    • For example - map displayed, track displayed, present position displayed
  • ​Event Settings
    • ​These relate to the specifics of how an Event will operate
    • For example - line/scatter/score, PIN for confidentiality, Mass Start ...
  • ​Preferences
    • ​These are user preferences that don't impinge on the running of an Event
    • For example - track colour and width, beep sounds

The Lifecycle of Settings
  • All settings have a default value set by MapRun6. When an Event is selected, settings determined by the organiser of that event are applied.
    • This affects "Event Display Options" and "Event" settings
    • After selecting an event, the name of the selected event will be displayed on the home screen and you can inspect the settings that apply by tapping "Options and Settings"
    • The organiser of an event has the ability to lock some settings so that they can't be changed, or to leave them open to change
      • Typically the core settings of an event will be locked so that everyone in the event has the same "rules". For example, the time allowed for a Score Event and the punching tolerance.
    • You can change other settings before tapping "Goto Start", but remember, if you re-select the Event (or select a different Event), those settings may change from what you have set.
  • Settings are saved with your results in the internal database, so when you retrieve the results of an event, the settings that applied at the time will be applied.
  • For "personal" events, all the settings are generally unlocked so that you have the freedom to try different things. "Personal" events in this context are those that you:
    • Create with QuickStart
    • Import from your SD card
    • Select from QuickCheck
