Orienteering Exercise: Reduced map compass training

Key information
Exercise Type: Compass
Target Level: Elite level, Junior level
Intensity: Low, Medium
Preparation time: 15-30 minutes
OCAD Required: Yes
Min participants: 1

Make a course on a reduced map, where the reduced map is made by removing many details in such a way that the compass is the only option for orienteering. For example, you can have a map with only black details left. Use this for compass training.

Aim: Learn to use the compass better. Also learn to use details you don't always use in your orienteering.
Variants: See also Reduced map training.
Aids: OCAD is required. See Tips_on_OCAD_usage.
Terrain: Quite flat terrain.
Preparations: Make the reduced map, and set a course on the map.
Tips: This is a good alternative compass training - which looks very nice on the map. It may also make it easier to have compass training in more hilly terrain as the runner can use the compass from feature to feature.
