User guide To the app

Getting started

Open a map

ControlFreak runs entirely in the browser. The map and the courses are opened on your computer and never uploaded anywhere — no account needed.

1Go to course.controlfreak.se/en and press Get started.
2Drop the map file on the area in the middle of the screen, or press Open map in the panel on the left.
3Just want to try: press Try an example map, or Take a tour for a walk through the app, part by part.

OCAD: .ocd from OCAD 8 and 10 to 2018.
Open Orienteering Mapper: .omap and .xmap.
PDF: Rasterised to an image with no built-in scale — the app asks for the print scale before you continue.

The example project is not saved. Open your own map when you want to start for real.
Course setting is made for a computer or a tablet. On a phone, the control hanging mode is the one to use.

The start area with the buttons Try an example map and Take a tour — Drop the map file here, or try the example map.

The app with the example map open, the project panel on the left and the course panel on the right — The project panel on the left, the map in the middle with the toolbar at the top, and the course panel on the right. The panels fold away with the arrows at their edges.
