While we continue to use RouteGadget to display results, a Map is required.
This is because RouteGadget doesn't offer any general map background (eg Google Maps or Open Street Maps). So, to make sense of runners tracks, we need to display a map.
Having said that, if you are not interested in seeing the tracks on a map, just to satisfy the RG requirements, you could create a blank-sheet KMZ file. But generally people would use www.oomap.co.uk which allows maps to be produced in KMZ format very easily with scales from 1:5000 to 1:40000.
There are other tools that allow you to grab the Google Map imagery and create a KMZ... but that takes a bit more effort. The simplest one I am aware of uses OCAD. (but you may be able to do it also with OpenOrienteeringMapper).
If/When we move to a different system to display results, we may then dispense with the requirement for a map.
