The software uses standard orienteering IOF XML format to exchange data with other orienteering applcations. It can cooperate with third-party orienteering software through it's REST API.
To begin with, on sourceforge profile page you can find some screenshtos.

The application is not recommended to be useed in any official orienteering event yet. At least not without some other application as backup.
