Quick start

One account gets you into all three products. Here is the shortest path into each.

Create your account once

Step 1. Sign up on any Routster site

Sign up with email or Google on prep.routster.se or analyse.routster.se. It does not matter which — there is one account behind all three products.

Step 2. Set your name and picture

In Prepare, under your profile. Analyse and Live read the same profile row, so the name and avatar appear everywhere. Live never writes to it.

Step 3. Join your club

On the Clubs page, search for your club and request to join; a club admin approves you. Membership unlocks club-only events in Analyse and club leaderboards in Prepare. See Clubs.

Signing in carries across subdomains

The session is stored in a cookie scoped to .routster.se, so signing in on one subdomain signs you in on the others. The handoff happens on page load, so reload once if a product shows you as signed out.

Your first hour in Prepare

Open the Route choice game and start answering. You are shown a map crop with two to four drawn routes between the same pair of controls, and you pick the shortest one. The first three are a warm-up and are not recorded; after that every answer counts.

Fast mode shows the route lengths and whether you were right, then moves on by itself.
Analysis mode holds the map so you can zoom in and see why the route you rejected was shorter.
Attempts count toward the global leaderboard only with All maps selected and the filters untouched.

How scoring works covers what the rank is built from.

Your first analysis in Analyse

Analyse has no standalone upload: every analysis belongs to an event. So either an organiser publishes the event you ran and you add your track to it, or you create the event yourself — a training run counts, and is just an event with the level set to training.

Open the event and find your class.
Add your run: upload a GPX file, import from a connected watch service, or pull the activity from Strava.
Pick your privacy tier. This decides whether other runners can open your analysis or borrow your track for comparison — see Run privacy.
Open the analysis. The map, the course and the field comparison are already there.

Organisers should read Uploading an event first, for the two timing rules: when the map unlocks, and when the results file goes up.

Your first race in Live

Live needs no setup. Open it, pick today's competition, pick a class, and the results are there. Two things to do on the first visit:

Star a few runners. Favourites are stored against your account and resolve to live results wherever those runners are entered today.
Open Settings and set the refresh interval and card size. The classic layout gives the dense liveresultat.orientering.se table instead of cards.

Live placing is the default sort

Runners are compared at the deepest control they have both reached, so whoever is ahead is at the top whether or not they have finished. See Sorting and filtering.
