The Karttapullautin generates cliff data and saves in the c2g.dxfand c3g.dxf files. These files represent passable rock faces and impassable cliffs respectively.

The cliff files can be added to a Open Street Map as a template.

The Karttapullautin cliffs are represented a mass of short lines.

Now it is easy to draw the appropriate symbols in place using the cliff data template.

The rules for generating cliffs can be tweaked. They reside in the pullauta.ini text file.
