TrailO trainer is a small project of a "former" TrailO specialist who wants to pass on as much of his experience as possible to his son and TrailO friends. And what is holding me back the most in this endeavor? It is relatively difficult to prepare serious trainings, from preparation in the terrain to the creation of training maps, not to mention the training itself with several trainees. And since I'm lazy by nature, I decided to try to automate these activities. And everyone who knows me at least a little bit knows that I like to share everything with others. So why not help in a joint effort to train more, which is the basic problem of our sport.
WWW pages are the primary place for configuration, viewing, presentation results and solutions of trainings.
The web application is currently under development.
It is an Android application that fully replaces everything a competitor needs during training. The application replaces maps with tasks. It is a tool for recording answers and processing training results. And after the training, solutions to the tasks are immediately available to clarify the training.
The Android application is developed and is being tested and improved.
The trainer has two options for defining trainings. One option is to use a web application, but a permanent connection to the Internet is required, which may not be ideal for direct use in the terrain. The Android application allows you to create trainings even without the need for an internet connection. The Internet is only needed for synchronization with the server, so that training competitors can also use the training.

For greater variety of trainings, I am also developing an application that simulates a flag in the terrain. Mobile devices are attached to the stands that simulate flags. With the help of these devices, it is possible to train e.g. counting letters, it is possible to have a greater variety of tasks, since we are not limited to 6 flags, but there can be more and they are used as needed.
