Set courses together: the O-Manager
Plan an event on the o-map or on your own OCAD map: controls, courses with pre-start and taped route to the finish, categories, control descriptions after the IOF 2024 specification, length and climb calculated automatically. Your team works on it at the same time and sees each other live. Print courses as PDF or export IOF XML for timing.
Plan an event
Export as PDF, OCAD and Mapper
Export any map section as a print-ready PDF at true scale. For further mapping you get a georeferenced OCAD file (.ocd), an OpenOrienteering Mapper file or a DXF, with ISOM or sprint symbols and contours.

Join the project as a mapper
Create a free account and improve the o-map in the O-Editor. Draw like in OCAD: Bézier curves, right-angled buildings, circles, stairs, coordinates, follow existing lines, cut, merge and cut out holes, with undo, snapping and satellite images as background. Your changes are visible on the map at once.
