COMPASS Orienteering

The COMPASS orienteering app lets you easily use pre-defined O-maps and courses or create your own with minimal effort. Whether you want to practice orienteering skills or take part in custom events, COMPASS provides a flexible and user-friendly solution. The app is designed especially for schools (e.g., physical education classes) and orienteering clubs. It supports GPS-based control points for simple setup without placing controls in the field—ideal for training sessions—as well as QR code control points for more formal or competitive events. You can use pre-defined O-maps and courses without creating an account. To design your own courses or share results with friends, simply register at: https://compass.schmelz.univie.ac.at If you have any questions about using the COMPASS platform, feel free to get in touch—we’re happy to help.
