The start or map issue point (if not at the start) is shown by an equilateral triangle which points in the direction of the first control. The centre of the triangle shows the precise position of the start point.
Colour: purple.
702 Control point
The control points are shown with circles. The centre of the circle shows the precise position of the feature. Sections of circles should be omitted to leave important detail showing.
Colour: purple.
703 Control number
The number of the control is placed close to the control point circle in such a way that it does not obscure important detail. The numbers are orientated to north.
Colour: purple.

708 Crossing point
A crossing point through or over a wall or fence, or across a road or railway or through a tunnel or an out-of-bounds area is drawn on the map with two lines curving outwards.
Colour: purple.
An out-of-bounds area, see also symbol 528, is shown with vertical stripes.
A bounding line may be drawn if there is no natural boundary, as follows:
- a solid line indicates that the boundary is marked continuously (tapes, etc.) on the ground,
- a dashed line indicates intermittent marking on the ground,
- no line indicates no marking on the ground.
An area presenting danger to the competitor is shown with cross-hatched diagonal lines.
Colour: purple.
A route which is out-of-bounds is shown with crosses. These symbols should be placed at the entrances to forbidden paths and tracks such a way as not to hide the details of the junction.
Colour: purple.
