ARDF-FjwW - a screenshot

FjwW was used many times directly at ARDF World- and Region1/2/3-Championships 1997, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2008...2022 and served for post-evaluations of other WCs and ECs. In Sept. 2022 ARDF-FjwW was used at the
20th ARDF World Championships in Bulgaria and e.g. on the
Region2 Championships in USA 2011 and the
Region3 Championships in Australia 2011

FjwW support languages English, German, French, Dutch, Czech, Polish and Russian.
The program was successfully used many times at German ARDF competitions as well as in 24 countries: Australia, Belgium, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Rep., Finland, France, Great Britain, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Korea, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Ukraine and USA.


FjwW offers a comfortable display of the current results at any moment during the competition with the Internet Browser on an unlimited number of computers. Here you can see an example.

Beginning with version 8.3 FjwW is unicode and thus able to use all possible international character sets, such as Cyrillic, Arabic, Korean, East- and North-European special characters and so on (screenshot of Dutch language version at the left side).

that describes the usage and the possibilities of the program and the additional tools, primarily by pictures with accompanying text. The description will be extended continuously.
Sorry, in the moment it's only in German (looking for a translator to English ...).
Download
The ARDF-FjwW software isn't freeware and can be obtained from the author only.
The complete Help text can be downloaded here as a PDF.

The last version of FjwW, delivered to registered users, is V24.9 (24.9.2.1) dated 7.10.2024 .
If versions didn't get to registered users, please inform the author.
This version has the following new features. Here in details.
3.10.2024
The 'Name Lists' are splitted into three files for German (4149+49 entries) and international (5443 entries) participants of ARDF competitions and in IARU-R1 nominated international referees (45 entries). Lists also contain stolen, lost and rental SPORTident chips that exist in Germany.
The categories of competitors (also the new W45, W55, W65 of wommens) in the lists are up to date for the year 2024.
The 'Name Lists' enables a faster registration of all participants in FjwW, especially when competitors use their own SPORTident chip.

FjwMap
Description
FjwMap is primarily a planning tool for ARDF competitions. You can place the locations of start, finish and transmitters on a scanned map (JPG-/GIF-/BMP formats) and calculate the optimal running courses for different categories. Also GPS data of locations can be used. FjwMap can hand over location data to FjwW. A more detailed description is in the help files of FjwMap in English or German.

On www.FjwMap.de currently arise a FjwMap-Wiki !!!



The program can process data of the 'Shuttle Radar Topography Mission' (SRTM, see Wikipedia).
This freely or after registration accessible data is stored on a NASA FTP server. The data provides for a surface of approx. ca. 50x90 or 20x30 meters (Central Europe) the height above sea level in meters.
With loaded altitude data the height is shown for a marked location at its actual position in the status bar.

FjwMap is able to display a recorded running route from a GPS tracker (GPX file format) on the map with simultaneous display of run time, already passed route, currently active transmitter, altitude, average of speed and time-lapse function.

Since V10.11 the track is being displayed permanently. Please download and test it !
FjwMap is able since V13.3.1, by using the SRTM height data (to get for free from NASA server, without registration), to show the height contour of calculated optimum route or of clicked personal route (see small picture below) in the main window. It show also the moving avarage and the total traveled climb in the statusbar.

Download
FjwMap is freeware for usage in sectors of non-commercial sport, e.g. Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ARDF) or Orienteering (OL). Other usages have to be negotiated with the Author ! The program supports German, English, French or Russian.
Version 24.9.2.1
The program in the ZIP file is encrypted, see in no encrypted file Pin.txt !
The supplements of the last versions of FjwMap are here.
As examples the maps of the 13th ADRF-World-Championships 2006 in Bulgaria and of the 16th ARDF-R1-European-Championships 2007 in Poland. As example for the new feature of displaying a running route recorded by a GPS tracker here the 14th ARDF-Worldchampionships (Korea 2008) 80-m-competition with the running route of a German competitor in category M21.

Please unpack examples above first.
