I have used OL Laser to generate cliff data — the process is described in a separate article.

The OL Laser cliff data can be added to our map. The cliffs are a lot simpler than the corresponding objects generated by Karttapullautin.

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

I noticed that using the OL Laser cliffs as a template worked better than importing the save data file into the map. The positioning was correct when the data was added as a template.

This article is part of the Orienteering Mapping with LiDAR, Smartphones and Free Tools series.

Polite and constructive responses are always welcome.
