One of the club's members got news about the Norwegian website Invisible. There you can upload and add orientation paths and then you get a map with the controls in an app. Right now, Mullsjö SOK has set up 6-7 tracks with digital controls in the forests around the resort.

- After all, you must have permission for the maps to post them, says Lars Grehn.

Facilitates for coaches

The big advantage is that it facilitates training opportunities quite a lot.

- Whoever organizes the training does not have to place checks and then pick them up.

The orientation paths can also be used by the public if they download the app.

But how reliable is the GPS when it comes to showing where the controls are?

- It is clear that it can diffuse a few meters sometimes and that you have to walk around for a while before the cellphone finds the control and plays a song. But it is developing all the time.

What do you think of the melody loops that are played when you find a check or go to goal?

"It is not the Eagles directly, but it must be good," laughs Lars Grehn.

Increased interest in orientation

He says that the interest in orientation is on the rise again and that the association today has about 30 children and young people in the business. But just like most other sports, the Corona pandemic makes it a break in the competition and the orientation flagship Five Days is set this summer.

Mullsjö SOK has also had to set up a big competition, which they would arrange this summer.

- It's boring, but that's the way it is. We can at least conduct training as usual, says Lars Grehn.
