Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

@One Thousand Odd Spiders I've had a chance to have a look. Unfortunately, you were a little way off the starting point.

The first recorded point on your run was at:

54.287171,-2.729657

The start point of the course is at:

54.286842,-2.729428

This is a distance of 39.49 metres, but the tolerance is only 20 metres. Sorry dude.

I have also added a 'Satellite' button (top right corner of the map, when you view a course) to help with designing and studying courses.

Interesting, I started my watch at the car, and immediately went through the start point at the end of the car park. It's really not clear from the guide/instructions you must absolutely be on the start point before you press go.

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
I had an idea the other day whilst walking with Katie. A lot of Fetch games rely on randomly-placed markers to encourage you to vary your routes - but what if you could design your own virtual orienteering course? Drop a dozen or so virtual flags on the map, and then you've got a challenge for yourself and anyone else who is passing through the area.

I've built some pages that allow you to construct a course:

fetcheveryone.com/ori

There are some notes on that page ...
