Map Working Group
MTBO mapping proposal for testing
The current International Specification for Mountain Bike Orienteering Maps ISMTBOM dates from 2010 and does not include specific mapping standards for Sprint. In 2015 the MTBO Map Working Group, led by Emily Benham, drafted standards for Sprint maps and 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 the moment a taskforce (Ludomir Parfianowicz and Max Lindfors) is aligning the ISMTBOM with the new ISOM 2017 and preparing an OCAD template and other documents. As soon as everything is ready, all documents will be published as drafts for public testing and commenting within the MTBO community on the page Current Projects. The IOF federations and organisers will be informed formally.
