Distance Markers
Many of our maps display pre-loaded routes. These will show distance markers along them in either kilometres or miles.
Distance Calculations
Where routes are pre-loaded, participants’ distance is usually calculated by progress along this route. This means that distance travelled off route will not be added if they return to the route. However, if a participant leaves the route, the calculation falls back to an estimated distance, based on their track so far.
Multiple Routes
Many maps have multiple routes, with participants competing over different distances. In this instance, they are usually differentiated by colour coding and participants will be assigned to a specific route by the organiser.
