routes and route cards.

4. Free and automatically updates.

eDofE mapping is build using Microsoft technology so will not work on mac

Important!

To make the route you are creating accurate –

USE LOTS OF WAYPOINTS

The more points you put in the more accurate your

distance calculation will be in the route card and the

more accurate your elevation profile will be.

(note- routes imported from Memory Map often have only a few points so

more will need to be added).

Interactive Route Map

An interactive map

which can be e-mailed

to an assessor who

can zoom in and out

to review the route.

Important!

Once you log out of a map it takes time for eDofE to

update its link to the Satmap file in the database.

This should not take longer than a minute but may

take up to 23 minutes for some users.

We recommend you can save a GPX copy to your

computer, before exiting, so you can access the map

quickly if necessary.
