WHERE ALTOS GETS STUFF
WHERE ALTOS GETS STUFF
A super site to order USGS Topo 7.5 1:24,000 maps. We use them all the time for our base maps. They usually have anything you want and can get it to you in a day or so.
A good place to get just about all the Orienteering stuff you will ever need, and all listed on this web site. A real upgrade!
Aerial Photographic Products: You can order USGS aerial photographs of your area for $33 for a black and white or $65 for color. The flights are flown at 20,000 and 40,000. They are really professional. Film positives/negatives can also be obtained. Index

E-mail medals@venetosportawards.comThis is the place to get your awards. No doubt about it! April, Alan, and Jeff, the Santinon family, are ready to help you out, in any kind of emergency. It is helpful to give them some time, but when the pressures of getting the meet going engulfs you and you forget to order the awards, a call, e-mail, or fax to them might save the day. I know, I have experience it, before almost every meet.

Map Construction
We use the computer program OCAD 8 for making our maps. The author is Hans Steinegger and he has developed a program that, with practice, is easy to use and produces a professional quality map. We highly recommend it!
Check here for a Windows based program for making up control descriptions (clue cards). We use it extensively and find it to be simple, functional, and complete. Try it, you will see.
