Score Course: is find as many as you can and get back within the time limit. 20 points each one found and lose 10 points for every minute or part minute late.

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 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.
