Map contact Exercises

Inverted corridor	Run an "inverted corridor" - stay out of the map.	Compass, Map contact
Labyrinth	Draw a virtual labyrinth on the map and place controls inside the labyrinth. Walls shall not be crossed. There should be several alternatives to run from one control to the other.	Compass, Map reading, Simplification, Concentration, Distance evaluation, Map contact, GPS evaluation
Map without paths	Make a course on a map from which all paths have been removed.	Map reading, Map contact
Micro	A normal course is made, but for each control, there are several other controls within the control circle. There is no code on the controls, so the runner must decide which control is the correct one by studying the map and the control description. Some kind of penalty (penalty loop running, time penalty etc.) is given for each wrong control.	Map reading, Simplification, Attackpoints, Map contact, Inside the control circle, Control description
Never stop	Run a normal course, but you are never allowed to stop! That is, you have to keep running all the time. If you don't know where to run or need to relocate, you have to keep running on the spot (but this should be avoided, you should rather run more slowly ahead of this point).

Reduced map training	Make a course on a reduced map, where the reduced map is made by removing many details. For example, you can have a map with only vegetation details left.	Map reading, Map understanding, Map contact
