Just want to thank you for the workshop last night. I feel much more confident about maybe being able to make some local park maps.

This 2.5 hour online course is part 2 of Navigation Sports' introdction to Orienteering Mapping course. In it, you will learn how to use the Open Orienteering Mapper drawing tools. Participants will spend the majority of the class practicing using the software.

In this module you will practice the following:

• Using basic drawing tools
• Using shape manipulation tools
• Tracing base material

Upcoming classes: There are no scheduled classes. If you would like to request a class, email jeff@navigationsports.ca

This 6 hour module will teach participants the basics of fieldwork. This module has both classroom and field components.

In this module you will practice the following:

• Preparing your project for fieldwork
• Using the software and hardware for fieldwork
• Making decisions in the field:
  • Generalisation
  • Classification of features
  • Locating features
• Post-fieldwork drawing

Upcoming classes: There are no scheduled classes. If you would like to request a class, email jeff@navigationsports.ca

This course takes place over four 3-hour sessions in the classroom. Each session covers a different aspect of drawing contours:

• Bezier curves – learn the elusive tricks of drawing smoothly curved contours in the shape you want
• Interpreting lidar base material – learn how to translate in your mind what you’re seeing on the screen to what the terrain will look like
• What contours show – learn how to draw contours that show a balanced representation of different terrain elements such as high and low points, relative elevation, steepness, and shapes
• Contours and the rest of the map – learn how to draw contours in harmony with other prominent features such as trails, lakes, and streams cliffs.
