INVITATION

The IOF Map Commission welcomes you to the 13th International Conference on Orienteering Mapping that will take place in conjunction with the World Orienteering Championships in Miskolc, Hungary. The conference has become a traditional biennial event where map makers and map interested from around the world discuss and share information about the latest mapping standards, techniques and developments in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
We are convinced that the 13th ICOM will live up to the successes of its predecessors. The programme has been arranged to make it possible for you to take part in the public races and other important events.
The Map Commission would still like to focus on generalisation in the 13th ICOM, but are also soliciting presentations on other topics of interest to the world’s community of orienteering mappers. The revision of the ISOM 2000 specification is going on, and will be a topic too.
Complex generalisation maps are welcome for the discussion in the breaks.
Suggestions for both topics and presentations are welcome. Please send your proposals to:
IOF Map Commission, Flemming Hjorth Jensen (f_hjorth@post.tele.dk) before 1 July 2009.
If you are suggesting presentations, please specify both the title of the presentation, the presenter, and a brief synopsis of the presentation.
Once again, the IOF Map Committee welcomes you to Miskolc, Hungary and we look forward to meeting you there.

PROGRAMME
The conference will take place in Miskolc, in the event centre (Miskolc-Tapolca). The exact location will be published at the IOF Map Commission website, http://lazarus.elte.hu/mc/..
