What is RouteGadget?

Routegadget is a Web application for drawing and comparing orienteering routes. The original version was developed by Jarkko Ryyppö, and it is now used by orienteering clubs around the world.

Why Routegadget 2?

The original Routegadget makes extensive use of Java, and this has caused increasing difficulties. Routegadget 2 allows you to view existing Routegadget information in any modern (HTML5-compliant) browser without the need for Java. It also adds a modern user interface as well as updated functionality for analysis.

RG2 Installations

For a list of known RG2 installations see the RG2 statistics database. Email me if you would like your site added to this list.

rg2's Issues

Prettify overprint: add white halo

Combine GPS results in same list as normal results

Coloured tracks and dots don't match

When replaying an event display the track and then replay the route. The colour of the dots doesn't match the colour of the associated track.

Non UTF-8 characters in comments encode to null strings

Probably going to be a big problem in other files as well for non-English installations

GPS tracks not listed on results tab

Lock the position of tabs in relation to content

Tidy up start-up screen

Hide various bits of HTML until script has loaded fully.

Display all controls even if no codes available

Sometimes the sarjojenkoodit_X file does not exist so there are no control codes available. This disables the "display all controls" function and replay by control.

Generate dummy control codes in this case.

Comments

Allow display of comments that have been entered.

Can't save route

I'm getting the following error. I've tried GPS, drawing by mouse and on a few different events/clubs.
Your route was not saved. Please try again. SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unrecognized token '<'

Show runner names against the replay dots

• names/initials with an option to enable/disable?
• tooltips?

Allow background map to be dimmed

Use kartat id for permalinks

Change internal event ID to kartat ID in the links on the event tab. This guarantees that the ID will not change in future (e.g. if internal event list is reordered). API call already uses kartat ID so that is OK.

Provide direct link to open a specified event at start-up

Need something like index.php?id=123

Replay state not reset when event changed

If you start a replay, and then change event, then the replay button text
doesn't change to stop. It should change to "run" display state when you change event.

Allow viewing of splits for selected runners

Can't access tabs for latest event

I set up a new event on the BASOC RG and 2 GPS routes and 2 hand drawn added. Now when you open the page the tabs for that event are greyed out. If you select another event and then look at it, then go back to the latest one it remembers the tab info from the previously viewed event.
I've uploaded a new gadget for the latest event to see if that fixes it.
I've left the old one so you can see the problem.
The only thing I did that was unusual was to edit the kilpailijat text file on the server to correct a name.

Route not loaded after being drawn in IE

Turns out that IE is caching the JSON requests when I thought it was disabled on each individual call. Anyway, turning it off globally solves the problem.

Import GPX files as routes

Allow event comments to be viewed

Select Name on "Draw" tab displays & in html format

Select Name on "Draw" tab displays an & in a name in html format, "&"

Extra control caused by trailing ; in splits

Some files have a trailing ; in the list of splits, which expand to a null field and looks like an extra control

+3 stoppages not shown on track display

Remove yellow from colours used for tracks

Too difficult to see. Whole approach to selection of colours could be rethought, but removing yellow is a good start.

Course tab layout changes

Allow animation restart at each control

Apostrophe in event name does not display correctly

Score events supported?

Routes uploaded don't show.
The course show on results tab I think is defaulting to the first runner.
If you want to see some score events try http://www.omm.routegadget.co.uk/rg2/

Allow Info panel to be hidden

First part of sorting out display for small screens

Add notes for developers about Grunt usage and debug mode

Please add notes:

• how to use a debug mode while testing or developing a new feature?
• how to build application JavaScript bundle?
• best practices for deployment management for RG2

Touch interface required for mobile/tablet

Spent a long time playing with touch-punch.js and getting nowhere. Never worked out why.

Then moved to hammer.js. This is now working reasonably OK so is definitely the short-term solution. May still need further refinement in future.

JQuery-UI has touch on the long-term development list so that may be the best way forward.

Provide language configuration option

Need to think about best way to do this, but it is going to be needed at some point.

Draw start and finish as triangle and double circle

...when displaying all controls

UI theme choice

Probably a bit of personal preference, but I think the smoothness theme is more neutral and will blend with alternate colour schemes (if people edit the css to match their club colour).

Replay from selected control

Allow the user to select a control number so that mass start replay starts from there.

Apostrophe in comment text truncates text

I added a comment to a route but it gets cut off after the first apostrophe "Couldn't make…", so I suspect there is a problem with the javascript interpreting the quote as part of the code?
GPS track on:

Saved route shows in results list but is not displayed

We have one example where a route was saved correctly but all x and y co-ordinates are set to 0, so nothing shows up on the display. See BAOC event #74, id 50099. This was created via a GPX upload, but the same file was then retried and worked correctly.
Front end was safari 6.1.1 on mac osx lion 10.7.5 which may or may not be relevant.
No real idea what this is at present, but migh be worth collecting browser/OS info if it happens again just in case.

Events with no defined courses do not display correctly

Course drawing overhaul

Import TCX files

Support TCX file format for GPS upload

Allow new runner to be added for events with no results

Show/hide menu button

The button looks more like a logo and not obvious what it does.

Allow select all/none in Replay column on Results tab

Probably need to do this by course. May also want to do it for the Track column.

Replay by control sometimes adds extra delay at a control

Time offset needs to be calculated for each runner, not just last runner in loop.

Allow hiding of replay control panel

May make sense to only display them when on the Results tab. Could include an option at a later stage.

Allow viewing of track distance for selected runners

The display of comments doesn't parse out #cr##nl# new line special chars

Delete old map before loading new map

This will make it more obvious that something is happening since the "Map loading" text will be displayed on a grey background.

Fitting GPS tracks for events with no defined controls

If an event has no controls defined (e.g. street score) then the GPX file gets fitted to a very small area. Need to take account of map size rather than bounding box for controls.

Limit zoom range so that map doesn't disappear

iPad is a bit sensitive to pinch zoom out so we need to set a minimum zomm level
