Race With Maps is a no-look running App that allows a runner to use a custom race course designed in Google MyMaps.
Spoken Text at Placemark
During the run, when the runner reaches a MyMaps Placemark, RWM makes audio announcements using the description of the Placemark. Arriving at Markers, crossing Lines, going over an Area boundary all cause RWM to make the audio announcement placed in the description of the Placemark.
Spoken Text with Pace inserted
RWM can insert race time, race distance, pace or deviation from a time goal into the announcement. A Start Line Placemark automatically starts the race while a Finish Line Placemark stops the race.
This allows a runner to author a race course in MyMaps with race progress updates, directions,
points of interest, fueling/hydration reminders and more. And since RWM uses .kml files loaded from the iCloud, Maps can be shared with others.
RWM supports both Always Running and Run-Walk techniques. Without a Map, RWM is a standard running App with warmup, cooldown times and periodic time-distance announcements.
