A collection of tips, tricks and examples for making maps for rogaines, adventure races and multi-sport navigation events.
Maps are typically created using one of the following software packages:
QGIS: a powerful GIS software package (free & open source). https://www.qgis.org/
OCAD: a proprietary software application dedicated for orienteering map making. https://www.ocad.com/en/ocad-orienteering/
OpenOrienteeringMap (OOM): a web-based tool for easy creation of orienteering style maps. https://oomap.co.uk/au
OpenOrienteeringMap (with enhancements): OOM with additional features added such as contour lines. This will likely get merged into the original OOM in the future. https://oomap.dna-software.co.uk/
OpenOrienteering Mapper: an orienteering mapmaking program, developed as a free & open source alternative to OCAD. https://www.openorienteering.org/apps/mapper/
