Not quite, but if you have a Nintendo Wii, check out the Family Ski game.
You will come across 'orienteering' while you ski around, and 'talk' to other skiers.
They have it as a sort of 'treasure hunt' as they give you clues to help you find the other members of the 'secret' orienteering society!!! Not the orienteering we are used to but, anyway.
I know it wouldnt have mass appeal, but it wuld be possible to create a true orienteering Wii simulation game wouldnt it? yes, i know we can have a go at Catching features anmd the other few computer games out there.

Re: Orienteering on he Wii
A bit off topic, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Yesterday, I organised a birthday party for 5 year olds, at the country park where I work. I mentioned to a father an son that we had a couple of permanent orienteerign courses that they could do any time they wanted. The fatehr explained to his son that orienteering is like geocaching, so, being aware of both activities, I had to add that orienteerung did not involve GPS receivers and that orienteering controls are not hidden, unlike caches. Anyway, I found a handout about WAOC, so they might try orienteering some time.

Re: Orienteering on he Wii
Why not an adventure game called "organise a major orienteering event". Would take days to do, and could feature many scary characters such as:
"Dave Moanus": Common competitor type, forms into scary groups, usually found complaining about entry fee prices, map quality etc.
"Fred FlapperMan": Rare, but devistating volunteer type.
"Gerry Grumpyoldmonus": Older version of Dave Moanus.
"Ginny Gossipalot": Another problematic volunteer type, wants to be helpful but spends all her time talking to the competitors whilst forgetting to start the elite relay course.
"Eddie Early": Always arrives 30 minutes before the organiser. EE's can form into large tutting queues should there be any delay.
I could go on....

For every winner, there are dozens of losers. Odds are you're one of them.
