World of O News
Wikipedia integration, maps from competitions and results browsing are some of the new features that have been added in the WoO Calendar. Also thanks to all of you who have added competitions – more than 50 competitions have been added the last few days – more than 20 of them just yesterday.
More info
To give you more information about what is going on in the region of the competitions the following features are added (you can see an example here):
- Show wikipedia entries in the neighbourhood of the event on the map (see illustration at the bottom of the page)
- Get current weather conditions and typical weather conditions for the event area
- Hotel search in the area of the event (unfortunately this is not extremely accurate – I hope to be able to make this better some time)
- Possibility to view another map source for the area (Microsoft VE), as other map sources are sometimes more accurate for specific regions (like e.g. Slovenia, South Africa etc.). More map sources will be added (send me a tip if you know about some which should be added)
- Coming up soon is also the possibility to show orienteering maps close to the event – taken from the orienteering map register in WoO-Geo.
- Any other location based features you need when planning where to go orienteering? Tell me, and I will see what is possible…
Maps and results browser
In addition it is now possible to add information for past competitions as well, like maps with courses/link to route choice analysis, race reports and results (see below). Presently 8 events with maps or results are in, but the number of events is growing every day:
