| __tom: | does anyone know of some website where we can find maps wit or withour courses, but *without* routes !
There are lots of blogs with scanned maps, but with routes ! so they cannot be used for simulation. I found some on tero's website and a few others here and there, but any good link ? Tom |

| bubo: | Martin Dean is posting a lot of maps and courses from his trainings and competitions. Heīs always posting two maps - one without routes and one with his own route. |

| simmo: | There is a list of O-map web sites at http://lazarus.elte.hu/mc/
Olles map blog has quite a few http://olles.bloguje.cz/ World of O has a map collection page http://web.ift.uib.no/~jankoc/worldofo/Orienteerin... A few years ago (pre-internet) there was a guy with the biggest o-map collection - I think he was Swedish. He's probably got a web site, but I can't find it. |

That may be Kjell Larsson youīre talking about - he has been around since the 60-ies and collected maps (in the paper version) of all kinds. I donīt know if he is still collecting maps - the ones I heard about must be coming of age by now - and I donīt know for sure but I donīt think he has a personal web page. |

| simon: | This is something I have discussed and been willing to do for the past few years: create a website to store O maps in high quality (to be printed) as well as simulation exercises (which sometimes require special maps, not seen elsewhere).
Unfortunately lack of time and technical motivation (nothing very hard in such a website) have bogged for the same past few years. |

| JanetT: | Route Gadget (link above given by Jagge) is great because you not only have a large variety of maps to look at, but the posted routes of a number of orienteers to compare to your chosen route. |

| __tom: | thanks everyone.
yeah routegadget is nice, but for desktop orienteering only as it's not convenient for printing maps. I'll browse through all that and get back with the best ones I find. Tom |
