Create MapRunLink QR Code
MapRun6 v6.3.6 introduced MapRunLinks allowing a link to be provided to open MapRun6 in a specific event.
The MapRunLink can also be provided as a QR Code (Quick Response Codes), so that when "scanned" with the camera in a phone, the link will be provided automatically.
QR Codes could be printed on maps or on a card at the start of a course.
