Ken,

Preparing KML files:
- There is a multitude of methods available
- Some use completely online tools eg www.oomap.co.uk, and Google Earth has an online version that doesn't need to be installed on your PC
- Ultimately you can edit your KML file with a normal text editor (or even create it that way if you want).
- Atlogis - maybe try opening the KML file it has produced with a text editor so check the names

MapRun Focus
- Our focus is on where we can deliver the maximum benefits
- At this stage, the main volume of use is by Clubs for organised events, and so this is a primary focus
- Having said that, MapRunF offers the ability to set a simple event without anything other than the MapRunF App. Once you step beyond that level, you do need some tools to produce KML files (and KMZ files if you want a Map). These are common formats and there are lots of free tools, but it does need a PC/Mac capable of running these (or rely solely on on-line versions).
