Upload maps and courses to Livelox
Previous Topic  Next Topic 


Livelox is an analysis tool for orienteering. You can upload maps and courses to Livelox directly from Condes.


The upload is a two step-process:  


First step takes place in Condes

  1. Select which courses to upload
    Make sure the courses you want to upload are checked in the list, then click Next
  2. Log in to Livelox to allow Condes to upload.
    This step takes place in a web browser window.
    Condes automatically opens your default browser to show the Livelox login window.
    If you are presented by a "Windows security alert" asking if you will allow Condes to communicate on the network, please accept the request.
    You need a Livelox account to be able to upload.  Anyone can create a Livelox user account at the Livelox website  www.livelox.com
  3. Select if you want to upload as a new Livelox event or update an existing Livelox event.
    The update option is available only when you have previously uploaded the event.
  4. Finally, click "Finish" to perform the upload


Second step takes place at the Livelox website

where you finalize the event details and publish the event.  

After upload, Livelox validates the uploaded data. In case Livelox does not accept the data, a message box will show a list of validation errors.  After fixing the issues listed, you can retry uploading the data to Livelox.

Condes will automatically guide you to the right place in Livelox once the upload is completed.



Upload settings

Export only relay variations used by relay teams

When this option is checked, only those relay course variations are exported, which are used by relay teams created in the Relay Team Assignments window.

Bitmap Resolution

Use this to configure the resolution of the bitmap file that contains the exported map in the KMZ file.  The default value is 300 DPI.  If the map is very large, it may be necessary to reduce the resolution in order for Condes to have sufficient memory to create the file.

Event Name

Condes allows you to name your Livelox event.  The Livelox event name needs not be the same as the Condes event name

Start time (optional)

The start time of the event.  The time must be earlier than the start time of the first starting participant.

End time (optional)

The end time of the event.  The time must be later than the finish time of the last finishing participant.

Important:  The map must be geo-referenced
In order for Condes to be able to calculate Longitude and Latitude coordinates for controls and for the map, the map file needs to be geo-referenced, and a reference coordinate system needs to be configured. 

Most - but not all - OCAD maps are geo-referenced, and the data is included in the OCAD file.  When you use a bitmap file, it must be accompanied by a World File.   See Setup Map dialog for more details.

Livelox (www.livelox.com)
Livelox is an analysis tool for orienteering. The service was developed by and continues to be supported by the company Knowit Uppsala AB together with the Swedish Orienteering Federation. The idea is that it should be easy to visualize GPS-track and route choices on a map.
Relay Team

A relay team consists of a fixed number of competitors.  A relay team in Condes is defined by the course variations that are run by each team member.
