We usually identify a nearby pub for those wanting to socialise afterwards.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the <strong>Autumn<\/strong> the sessions are currently MapRuns using GPS to identify the control sites mainly urban settings in different parts of the City and County.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>  We take a break during December. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>From<strong> January onwards<\/strong> they are based at Markfield Community Centre.

Instead the Start, Finish and all control sites are identified by a GPS signal on your phone. The printed map is identical to a regular event. The signal can be received by an app on your phone or smart watch within a few metres of the feature marked on your map. On club nights advice and assistance will be available for anyone new to MapRun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From August the autumn club nights you can register in advance for a printed map. The locations usually start with parkland and then use urban area when evenings are darker. If you wish to run a MapRun course at other times, go to the Virtual Orienteering section on British Orienteering&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goorienteering.org.uk\/virtual-orienteering-courses\">Go Orienteering<\/a><\/strong> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leioc.org.uk\/wordpress\/club-nights\/#dates\">See below<\/a><\/strong> for this year&#8217;s club night locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The App<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">All participants need a smart phone or smart watch with the MapRun or MapRunG App. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-teal-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/maprunners.weebly.com\" style=\"border-radius:49px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Download App <\/strong> <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>GPS Signals<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">MapRun updates itself at set intervals of time. Usually 20 secs but this is changeable from within the MapRun Menu under Settings. The satellite updates can be affected if you have any overhead covering such as a tree canopies. So sometimes there is no instant reaction when you reach a control and you may need to wait a few seconds  to let your phone\/watch collect the next cycle of satellite signals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Navigation <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">You are strongly recommended to navigate around the courses using the printed paper version of the course which will be available at the start for everyone who prebooked their entry.  Although possible, it is more difficult using the MapRun course as displayed on the phone, so is not recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a name=\"contacts\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>Booking and Contacts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to ensure we print enough maps or other materials, it is helpful if you book in advance via the web page for the evening &#8211; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do I need to be a club member?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You do not need to join the club while you come to taster sessions, but you get free club magazine and refund of some event fees if you do.
