In this 2.5-hour course you will learn how to use Karttapullautin (KP) to generate smoothed contours which you can import and use directly in your map projects. In addition to contours you will also learn about other KP outputs such as vegetation and cliffs.

In the class will talk about the pros and cons of this method – namely that they are a great way to get started but are just that – a starting point if you’re willing to put the time in.

This course uses free software so is easily accessible to new mappers.
