1. Rogaining maps Lauri Leppik 30.10.2010 Kanepi

2. Rogaining maps  Map standards considerably less advanced compared to orienteering maps  IRF standards for championship rogaines scale 1:25000 – 1:50000 contour interval ≤ 20 m magnetic north lines at least four color printing

3. Rogaining maps in Estonia  More detailed compared to the Estonian base map  More generalised compared to orienteering maps  Estonian rogaining map style simplified o-map scale 1:30000 – 1:50000 contour interval 5 m  beyond rogaining events, rogaining maps have been used at adventure races and as a base map for drawing MTBO maps

4. Two methods for preparing the base map for field work  Taking the Estonian base map as the basis, adding information from o-maps, ortophotos and other sources  Taking o-maps as the basis, deleting unneccesary information  Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages

5. Rogaining map symbols

6.  Runnability of forest and open areas not indicated  No intermediate contour lines or index contours  Major, high voltage power lines indicated  Single objects depending on terrain buildings, ruins towers significant boulder clusters single large boulders with height over 2 m major fodder racks

7. Field work for rogaining maps  Changes to the situation new clearings new building missing roads, tracks, ditches etc  Checking and correcting the road/track/path classes  Correcting contours in particular outside areas covered by o-maps  Unifying the level of generalisation  Out-of-bound areas  Negotiations with land owners

8. Amount of time spent  Depends on the quality of base map  1 km² of rogaining map about 1 hour of field work about 1 hour map drawing with OCAD + 5-30 minutes with each land owner  Amount of time per km² rather small compared to o-maps, but the area is large for 24 hour rogaine about 250 km² or 500 hours for 8 hour rogaine over 80 km² or 160 hours

9. Printing of rogaining maps  Large quantities, single course for TAOK rogaines over 1000  Offset printing from 2007 onwards TAOK rogaine competition maps printed on  PolyArt water- and tearresistance plastic enamelled paper maps for course planning
