Tulip Roadbook Editor For Ipad 2.1

Description:

Tulip - Roadbook Editor for iPad is an easy-to-use roadbook editor and it lets you quickly type roadbook entries on your iPad.

This app is being used by organisers of rallies, e.g. in the Northern Ireland Rally Championship and in the Histo Day & Night Challenge in Germany!
But following driving directions in a roadbook is not only for competition rally events. It is also a fun way of taking a tour.

How to read a roadbook:
You start from the top and follow the driving directions on each line.
On each line there are two distance values to the left. The total distance is the accumulated distance from the start, and the partial distance is the distance from the previous driving direction.
To the right of these distance values there is a schematic representation of that point, like on a map. The solid point in the bottom centre of the diagram shows where you come from and the arrow shows which way you should go.
To the far right is a field which might contain warnings or other information.
