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. Rogaining map symbols
 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
