Routegadget is a free web utility written by a Finnish orienteer Jarrko Ryypo, which is designed to give orienteers the opportunity to draw and share their routes. On his web-site Jarrko has an index which links to Routegadget sites around the world: 32 countries, 188 organizations, 9048 events (the number of routes is not tallied but must be in the hundreds of thousands).
Routegadget for NSW is hosted on the Garingal web-site because of a clash with the operating system on the OANSW web-site. Bigfoot and Northern Tablelands also have Routegadget available. The latest events loaded are the 3 days of the QBIII carnival at Lithgow - have a look at where people went (or think they went) and add your own route as well. Help is available on the page for each map, and the split times are taken directly from the SI splits file. If you have a GPS unit you can download your track too. The software has been updated recently so that the GPS track should now need almost no adjustment.
In addition to the drawn routes up to 10 "runners" can be animated to show their positions on the map as if in a mass start, or a normal spread start.The (splitalyser) option in the event listing gives access to graphical display of the split results (similar to Winsplits) as well as a table of splits results.
Bendigo Club has started an annual Noodle Award for the best "spaghetti" track on one of their maps - not here yet but...
