Introductory mapping training opportunity
There are a handful of spaces available for a series of three FREE online mapping workshops from Jeff Teutsch of Navigation Sports. The workshops are designed for members of Grizzly Orienteering, but are applicable to anyone interested in learning the basics of orienteering mapping. The training will take place on Thursdays, November 20, December 4, and December 11 from 5:30pm-8:00pm Mountain Time.
Subjects covered in the three sessions will be:
- Intro to mapping/Starting a map project
- Using OCAD
- Generating basic contours
If you are interested and able to commit to attending all three online sessions in real time, please contact the Mapping Committee at Mapping@nullorienteeringusa.org to get yourself on the list of candidates for the available spaces. Please tell us:
- who you are,
- your OUSA club affiliation,
- about your mapping experience, if any, and
- what mapping project(s) you would hope to work on within a year of taking the training.
To reiterate, thanks to grant funding from OUSA these workshops are being provided FREE OF CHARGE to participants. We hope to see this opportunity fully subscribed. Email applications for spaces should be submitted no later than midnight on Friday, November 7.
