Enter the distance covered and the time taken into the calculator to determine the map score. The map score is a measure of the speed at which a distance is covered.

Map Score Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the map score:

Map Score = Distance / Time

Variables:

  • Map Score is the measure of speed (meters per second)
  • Distance is the total distance covered (meters)
  • Time is the total time taken to cover the distance (seconds)

To calculate the map score, divide the distance covered by the time taken.

What is a Map Score?

A map score is a quantitative measure used to evaluate the speed at which a certain distance is covered. It is often used in orienteering and navigation exercises to assess performance. The score is calculated by dividing the distance covered by the time taken to cover that distance, resulting in a speed value typically expressed in meters per second.

How to Calculate a Map Score?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Map Score:


  1. First, determine the total distance covered (in meters).
  2. Next, determine the total time taken to cover the distance (in seconds).
  3. Use the formula: Map Score = Distance / Time.
  4. Finally, calculate the Map Score (in meters per second).
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem:

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Distance covered = 500 meters

Time taken = 120 seconds
