Vikazimut

Vikazimut is a project of students from the National Engineering School ENSICAEN which aims to facilitate the practice of orienteering sports. The application replaces the map, the compass and the control card and displays a retrospective analysis of the route taken.

The orienteer uses the application to find the way using the map and validates the passage at the checkpoints manually with the QR code or NFC readers or automatically with the GPS position. At the end of the course, the application displays some statistics: the total time, the split times and the track on the map.

Vikazimut comes in two modes: a walking mode where the application displays the orienteer's current location on the map and a sport mode where the orienteer is not assisted with their location. In walking mode, some routes display cultural information at checkpoints.
