Routster documentation
Three products, one account, one sport.
Routster is a digital platform for orienteering, built by Orienteering Labs AB. It covers the sport end to end, and these docs are organised the same way — one section per product, selectable from the tabs at the top of every page.
Prepare
Train route choice against a clock, upload your own maps, and climb a leaderboard that rewards being fast and right.
Analyse
Upload a GPS track after a race and see where the time went — splits, terrain, route choice, and an AI coach that reads the evidence.
Live
Follow a competition as it happens: class results, favourites, club pages and split ranks that update while runners are still out.
Mapping Lab
Turn an OCAD map into thousands of route-choice challenges, and understand every parameter that shapes them.
What each product does
Routster Prepare is where you get faster at deciding. It shows you two to four drawn routes between the same pair of controls and asks which is shortest. You answer in a second or two, hundreds of times, and the leaderboard scores you on accuracy and response time together. It is also where community maps are made: upload an OCAD map and the Mapping Lab generates the route-choice challenges from it.
Routster Analyse is where you find out what actually happened. An organiser publishes an event — map, courses, classes, split times — and every runner in it uploads their GPS track. Analyse aligns the track to the course, detects where time was lost, compares you to the field, and can generate an AI review of the legs that mattered.
Routster Live is where you watch it happen. It reads the Swedish live timing feed and shows class results, split ranks and passings while the race is running, with favourites and club pages that never go stale.
One account across all three
Signing in on any Routster subdomain signs you in on all of them: the products share a single Supabase project and a session cookie scoped to .routster.se. That is why your profile name and picture, your club membership, and the favourites you star in Live follow you between products without being set up twice.
Where the data lives
Language
English is the source language of the products and of these docs; Swedish is a full first-class translation in the apps themselves. Live additionally carries thirteen languages, inherited from the app it replaced. Throughout the docs the sport's own vocabulary is used: leg (sträcka), split time (sträcktid), route choice (vägval), mistake (bom), control (kontroll).
