Big comparison of mapping approaches.

Bruno Nazário asked me if I still have the data from Orienteering mapping seminar that was held in 2000 close to Jíčín.

And I found it, made a gif and even added a new map from laser data. 16 mappers - 16 different maps.

In 2000 there were no GPSs, no laser data, very poor areal images, no tablets... Only very rough topo map and self measured pacing.

This explains the big variety of mapping. These days laser data, gps support maps with reliable skeleton. Terrain wise - the biggest challenge now is generalization. Interpretation of vegetation - that is another matter - that still varies greatly mapper to mapper.

Which map and why would be your favourite?
