This 2.5 hour online course teaches participants how to use Karttapullautin to generate exploratory orienteering maps (also often called auto-generated maps) from lidar. Karttapullautin generates contours and other landform features as well as an orienteering style base map. In this class you will learn the basics of using the software as well as how to adjust the settings to optimize the output.
This is a private class for Grizzly Orienteering.
In this class, participants will have a chance to continue the project they set up in the November 20th, Starting a map Project class. If you were not in that class you can work on a project of your choosing or on files provided by the instructor.
In this course, we will use two pieces of free software:
In addition, you have the option of using your orienteering mapping software of choice (OCAD or OOM) to import the contours into your project.
Participants do not need previous experience using any of the software tools, though some familiarity with OCAd or OOM will be of benefit.
Using Zoom
A Zoom link will be provided to registered participants by email. Please be set up and ready to go for the start of the class with working audio and the software downloaded and installed so we don't have to take precious course time to sort that out.
Please participate from a laptop or desktop computer so you can use the software as intended. We strongly recommend you connect to Zoom from a second device so you can follow the instructor on Zoom while using your computer to practice the skills being presented.
This is a private class for Grizzly Orienteering members. For further information contact grizorienteering@gmail.com.
