Sprint Training using cell phone display (11.07.2013)

We arrived in Kristiansand today, I tried another experiment:

Using "Custom Maps", a free program in the Google Android store, I saved the map image from an old KOK sprint training event, then used my cell phone as a (moving) map screen.

This actually worked pretty well: The GPS tracking meant that the map stayed more or less centered around the area I was currently moving through, and the cell phone display was quite readable even in bright sunlight.

I still had to orienteer though but the GPS did provide assurance that I was in the correct city block.

I did make one mistake towards #2 when I started to orienteer towards #4 and didn't realize it until I had passed under the second bridge!
