To use the Maprun app when in the car park, start the Maprun app. Click 'Events near me' or click 'Select Event' and go to the UK/Leicestershire/Hicks Lodge folder to find the courses. Click the one you want. Click ‘go to Start’ when you are ready. When you get near the start your time begins once your phone beeps.

Beginners there are a couple of features to help you navigate: Before the start, the location and track are always shown. Once you pass the start the location and track disappear ... unless you have enabled 'show track' or 'show location'. These features can be enabled in 'Options and settings' before you start. For some courses, we had added a ‘show me’ feature. where it's available there is a button on the screen but you can only use it a few times.
