Updated Open Orienteering Map

Loving the updated version released this weekend.

A really good looking map produced from a post code. Brilliant!

Thanks Ollie.

Thanks. It's in beta for now - not the full final release - but I thought I'd better get it out there asap as it's much improved from the old one. Two recent events that I were at had problems with duplicate control numbers and misaligned control numbers/descriptions - this should stop both of those problems happening.

More details on what's new/changed on my blog.

Well that is quite brilliant. I noticed that the instruction sheet (using the pseudo map which is the only one I've played with) has the code number and points score labelled back to front but this is such a minor flaw in a great facility that i'm embarrassed to point it out.

Are there plans to be able to devise a point-to-point O course rather than a score format?

Impressed with the improvements.

Ollie mentions on his blog post that it covers Ireland too - it covers some, but not all of the Republic. On the west coast Galway for example (where I am off to after the JK Sprints) is not covered, although Athlone in central Rep of Ireland is.
In fact it looks like anywhere more westerly than the most western point of Northern Ireland is excluded.

Ireland's lack of postcodes probably doesn't help!

Thanks Alan and Sunlit. The Western Ireland and clue sheet label bugs are now fixed. A point-to-point is a possible future feature - at the moment it does score-type Street-Os.
