Printing Courses on Maps
To overprint courses on existing maps you need a few things:
- The map has to exist as an OCAD file and you need that file. Fred Kruesi is in charge of distribution of OCAD map files for DVOA.
- The latest version of OCAD installed on your computer (demo versions are available for free download - they can't handle a full set of courses but can do three at a time I think).
- 3. The maps of the park you want to print the courses on.
- 4. A color printer that will handle the maps (some maps are large and need a large format printer).
If you have all of those things, setting it all up to print courses is not that hard and I can talk you through it the first time. I taught myself using the help files that come with OCAD.
The club owns a large format printer that is currently in Sandy Fillebrown's possession. If you get her the maps and the courses and can speand a few hours at her house in Philadelphia she is happy to print courses for any event.
