We just installed the newest version of RouteGadget. People had stopped using RouteGadget because it required Java which is disabled in almost all modern web browsers. The newest version does not require Java (yay!).
RouteGadget is a fun way to compare your route choices with other orienteers. It is also a great way to see how you could improve, and to answer questions like Was it faster to go left or right around the lake?
Anyone can use RouteGadget to see the route choices of course racers (just skip down to the section Comparing Routes). In order to add your route all you need is your memory, so it is best to enter your route as soon as you can – meet directors will usually have the map available within 24 hours of the meet.
