This 2.5 hour online course teaches participants how to use Karttapullautin to generate exploratory orienteering maps (also often called auto-generated maps) from lidar. Karttapullautin generates contours and other landform features as well as an orienteering style base map. In this class you will learn the basics of using the software as well as how to adjust the settings to optimize the output.
This class will be taught by Jeff Teutsch.
In this course, we will use two pieces of free software:
In addition you have the option of using your orienteering mapping software of choice (OCAD or OOM) to import the contours into your project.
Participants do not need previous experience using any of the software tools though some familiarity with OCAD or OOM will be of benefit.
Using Zoom
A zoom link will be provided to registered participants by email. Please be set up ready to go for the start of the class with working audio and the software downloaded and installed so we don't have to take precious course time to sort that out.
Please participate from a laptop or desktop computer so you can use the software as intended. We strongly recommend you connect to zoom from a second device so you can follow the instructor on zoom while using your computer to practice the skills being presented.
Cost: $67.50 + tax
Please note there is an online processing fee on top of the advertised price.
This course is designed primarily for mappers who are relatively new to mapping and want to start mapping some forest areas with contours or generate contours for a sprint project. If you are wondering if this course is for you, you can email jeff@navigationsports.ca. About a week prior to the start of the class we will send out a quick questionnaire asking about your orienteering and mapping experience and what you want to get out of the class to help us tailor our teaching for you.
