  • The Using of Modern Technologies in Orienteering

    The Using of Modern Technologies in Orienteering

    The using of modern technologies in orienteering Michal Frainšic1, Petr Špicar2, Ludmila Fialová2 1 Department of Outdoor activities, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic 2 Department of Pedagogy, Psychology and Didactics of sport, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Char- les University, Prague, Czech Republic Abstract The article deals with introduction and contribution of modern technologies used in a sport branch of ori- enteering sports in comparison with the past when these technologies were not used. Modern technologies contributed to expansion of orienteering sports. They made this branch of sport more attractive for both - com- petitors and spectators. Facilities like SPORTident, Trac-Trac, Emit and Racom transfered on-line results from race to competitors and spectators, who are in the race center. Thanks to those facilities spectators can also watch the race on-line on TV or on the Internet. Program OCAD made the preparation of orienteering maps and tracks faster and more effective. Modern technologies also speeded up the process of race preparation.

  • Maps for Different Forms of Orienteering

    Maps for Different Forms of Orienteering

    MAPS FOR DIFFERENT FORMS OF ORIENTEERING László Zentai Eötvös Loránd University, Pázmány Péter sétány 1/A H-1117 Budapest, Hungary [email protected] Abstract: Orienteering became a worldwide sport in the last 25-30 years. Orienteering maps are one of the very few types of maps that have the same specifications all over the world. Orienteering maps are special, because to make them suitable for orienteering the map makers have to be familiar not only with the map specifications, but also with the rules and traditions of the sport. The early period of orienteering maps was the age of homemade maps. Maps were made by orienteers using available tourist or topographic maps and only after the availability of cheaper reproduction techniques started the process of special field- working. The International Orienteering Federation (IOF) was formed in 1961. The Map Commission (MC) of the IOF has introduced different specifications for the official disciplines (before 2000 the ski-orienteering and foot-orienteering were the only official disciplines). The last version of the specification, the International Standard for Orienteering Maps (ISOM) was published in 2000 and included specifications for foot- orienteering, ski-orienteering, mountain-bike orienteering. A new format, the sprint competition, required new map specifications (ISSOM) which were finalized and published in 2007. The aim of orienteering map specifications is to provide rules that can accommodate many different types of terrain around the world and various forms of orienteering. We can use the experience of the official disciplines for developing new specifications: the official disciplines and formats were developed in the past 30 years (most of them are even newer).

  • The New Speciafication of Orienteering Maps

    The New Speciafication of Orienteering Maps

    Proceedings, 7th International Conference on Cartography and GIS, 18-23 June 2018, Sozopol, Bulgaria ISSN: 1314-0604, Eds: Bandrova T., Konečný M. ISOM2017: THE NEW SPECIFICATION OF ORIENTEERING MAPS (AN INSIGHT) László Zentai László ZENTAI; Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics, ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary; Address: Pázmány Péter sétány 1/A, 1117 Budapest, Hungary; Tel. +36 1 372 2975, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Orienteering maps are one of the very few maps where the map specification is internationally standardised. As orienteering maps are a kind of sport goods, the standardisation of these cartographic products was a must to guarantee the fairness of the sport. The latest specification of (forest) orienteering maps was published in 2000. Although there were no urgent issues, the development of the sport and the IT technologies required regular revision of the map specification. After the release of the previous International Specification on Orienteering Maps (ISOM), a new form of event, the sprint format was developed. As sprint events are regularly organised in urban environment (park, or downtown area), a new maps specification was developed in the first decade of the 20th century (ISSOM = International Specification of Sprint Orienteering Maps). The recent update of ISOM originally would include both specifications (ISOM and ISSOM), but finally only the ISOM was the focus. Keywords: orienteering maps, topographic maps, standardization, legend, cartographic symbols WHY ORIENTEERING MAPS ARE SO SPECIAL? History Orienteering maps are one of the very few maps where the map specification is internationally standardised. The standardisation was a relatively fast process, although the sport itself is more than 100 years old; there was not too much focus on maps and practically nothing on the standardisation in the first half of the progress.

    Development of Orienteering Maps' Standardization

    DEVELOPMENT OF ORIENTEERING MAPS' STANDARDIZATION László Zentai Department of Cartography, Eötvös Loránd University H-1117 Budapest, Pázmány Péter sétány 1/A, Hungary fax: +36-1-372 2951, e-mail: [email protected] The beginning Although orienteering is practiced in every continent, it is a nearly unknown sport in most of the countries. The sport started as a military navigation test at the second half of the 19th century. The first civil (non military) event was organized at the end of the 19th century (Norway: October 31 1897, Sweden: 1900, Denmark: 1906). Scandinavia is still the most developed area of orienteering. The main reason is probably the very complicated terrain compared to continental or Mediterranean areas, but mostly the long-term tradition of using topographic maps. In every country where orienteering was practiced before the foundation of the International Orienteering Federation (1961), local topographic maps were used for the events and training. The large scale topographic maps were allowed to use for civil purposes from the middle of the 19th century in Scandinavia, so there the map use was a part of the education and culture, much more so than in other countries. The legend of topographic maps was different from country to country. Orienteering was not a part of the Olympic Games and international events were very rare at that time (these events before the 60’es were organized only in Nordic countries – since 1935). Orienteering in Central European countries originated from Scandinavia before the second World War. In Hungary, for example, the first event was organized in 1925 by a prisoner of war who came back from the Soviet Union via Scandinavia.
