This is the place to get a copy of a map for organising a Bendigo Orienteering Club event. There are over 90 maps available on this site. We will endeavour to have the most recent copy of each map on this site.

Maps are organised into the following categories.

• Bush orienteering maps: Bush terrain mapped according to ISOM conventions at 1:15,000 scale.

• Bush sprint maps: Small areas of often detailed bush terrain. Most will be mapped at 1:5,000 scale according to ISSOM conventions.

• MTBO maps: Only a few are available due to permitting issues.

• Park and Campus maps: Maps of urban parks and larger campuses, sometimes mapped according to ISSOM conventions.

• Primary School Maps: Very small areas mapped according to no convention.

• Street Orienteering maps: A few maps of the Bendigo urban area.

Here are some guides written to help organise a club event.

DOWNLOADING OCAD FILES- READ THIS CAREFULLY:

Most of the files stored on this site are in OCAD 10 or OCAD 11 format. There are only two licensed copies of this in the club. But some people have the earlier version, OCAD 8. Others may have Open Orienteering Mapper. If this is you, Windows will offer you the chance to open the file in OCAD, and then will tell you the format is wrong. This is correct. Nothing is broken. Your software is looking for an OCAD8 file. The map you are downloading is in a more recent format.

Instead, download the file rather than open it. Then call the file when setting up the event on CONDES. CONDES reads the later versions of OCAD files (10,11 and maybe 12) but doesn't open them in the sense that windows understands.

You may also view the OCAD files in the free OCAD viewer, but this does not allow you to set courses or edit the files. You can use this to hide symbols (eg tracks) and save the file. https://www.ocad.com/en/downloads/ocad-viewer
