Klaas Wynne Mapping

Orienteering maps are made with the latest version of OCAD, using LiDAR data combined with aerial photography, to ISOM 2017-2 or ISSprOM 2019-2 standards. Where possible other data sources are used such as infrared photography & vector maps as well as old maps. A base map is typically produced in about a day but extensive surveying is required for the important details. Surveying is carried out using modern GNSS with an accuracy of ~0.5m under forest canopy.

Some recent examples showing what I can do are the Doon Hill & Fairy Knowe forest map (major update of a map, 2025), the Knockmountain forest map (new map, 2025), and the Kelvin South urban sprint map (new map, 2025). My use of modern positioning technology is described in GNSS for orienteering mapping. If you think I can assist you in your orienteering mapping project, please contact me at
