OCAD AG Mühlegasse 36 CH-6340 Baar / Schweiz www.ocad.com Best Practice Presentation - ICC Dresden 27th August 2013

OCAD – From a niche product towards a

professional cartographic solution


The Niche: Orienteering Maps. Orienteering Outdoor sport (forest, meadows or urban areas)

Task: Find a predefined sequence (course) of controls (red-white flag) in the terrain with the help of a map and a compass.

Topographic Map with the indication of runnability • International Specification for Orienteering Maps (ISOM) • Very good legibility under bad weather conditions (rainfall, dark forest) • Waterproof and tear-resistance • Precise for navigation with the help of a compass • Low cost solution due to the production by volunteers (easy to learn)


Professional Cartographic Solution.
