Orienteering map





This map shows a orienteering map and is designed to be used for orienteering competitions. It uses a topographic map with additional details included for the use of the competitor to be able to navigate through the different areas.  Land features represented by symbols and can be interpreted in any language. These symbols are defined by a legend in the bottom left. Contour lines are used to demonstrate the terrain, and symbols and features include the forest density, water features as well as roads and buildings. A scale is labeled on the top and uses a ratio format. The base maps are usually LIDAR maps. Generalization is used for these maps to include necessary details and to avoid confusion.
