Orienteering Maps
Orienteering maps:
Orienteering requires the use of specialized maps prepared specifically for the sport of orienteering. Map should be prepared in accordance with mapping standards of the International Orienteering Federation (IOF). Orienteering Canada maintains a registry of Canadian mappers knowledgeable of the standards and who have the necessary experience and skills required for preparation of orienteering maps.
Important Safety Precautions:
Possession of the maps does not imply permission to be on the land. Permission must always be obtained from the private and/or public landowners.
Note that the maps may be out-of-date and may not have been recently field-checked. New hazards may exist that are not shown on the map.
You are responsible for assessing risks and managing your safety. Ensure that you are properly trained and aware of the risks before embarking on any unsupervised orienteering activity.
Always carry a whistle, or a communication device, go with a "buddy", and obey all government and local regulations.
Visit the AOA Safety site before you head out.
Users’ liability waiver:
Use the map only for your own activities. No commercialized activities (or events) are allowed to use these maps.
The users of any of the maps in Alberta waive all responsibility from the Foothills Wanderers Orienteering Club
(FWOC), the Edmonton Overlanders Orienteering Club (EOOC) and the ALBERTA ORIENTEERING ASSOCIATION (AOA), and their members from any loss of property or personal injury that may occur during the use of any of these maps.
