Map Working Group
MTBO mapping proposal for testing
The current International Specification for Mountain Bike Orienteering Maps ISMTBOM date from 2010 and does not include specific mapping standards for Sprint. The MTBO Commission therefore asked the MTBO Map Working Group (Map WG), led by Emily Benham, to draft such standards for Sprint maps. The Map WG not only did that but reviewed every aspect of the current mapping standards to make improvements for better map reading and interpretation. The proposal below was submitted in January 2016:
At its meeting in January 2017 the MTBO Commission agreed on a testing phase until the end of October 2017 at events with a world ranking status or lower. As soon as the necessary documents and material are ready for testing, the IOF federations and organisers will be informed formally .
