ORIENTEERING PLANNER

Legbench pre-start studio

Plan control order, sketch legs on the map, and dial bearings before you pin on your number.

Legbench is for club training, school maps, and park sprint practice — a quiet bench for reading the map, not a GPS tracker on the course.

Map-first planning — ISOM symbols and IOF control descriptions on tap.

FEATURES

What runners use it for

Everything stays on your device until you clear it. Metric or imperial units, degrees or mils — tuned in Settings.

Course library on device

Browse sample sprints and forest legs, open any control for IOF-style descriptions, terrain hints, and colour-class context — all without live GPS tracking.

Route variants side by side

Sketch straight, trail, or contour-hunting lines on the canvas, compare leg distance and detour percentage, and rehearse decisions before the start horn.

Compass + Field Kit

Dial bearings in degrees or mils, count double paces, and keep ISOM 2017 symbols and attack-point techniques one tap away in the Field Kit reference.

GALLERY

ABOUT

Built for orienteering practice

Symbol references follow ISOM 2017. Control descriptions follow IOF 2018. Legbench does not replace an official event map or electronic punching — it helps you study and plan.
