Starting a new map with Open Orienteering Mapper
1 min readApr 3, 2017
Creating a new map file is simple:
- Run the Open Orienteering Mapper application
- Use the ‘Create a new map’ button
- I selected scale of 1:10000 and the ISOM_10000 Symbol set. The decision about scale is based on my desire to fit the map on a standard A4 page. I’ll be using the Internataional Specification for Orienteering Maps (ISOM) symbol set.
A blank map is produced.
Geo-referencing information will be added when a geo-referenced data set is first used as a template or imported.
