4.6 Overprinting symbols

Courses should be overprinted at least for elite classes. For other classes they can be drawn by hand.


601 Start
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 a triangle or circle shows the precise position of the feature but it is not actually marked.
Colour: purple.

602 Control point
The control points are shown with circles. The size of the circles should be chosen to minimise interference with map detail around the controls. The controls are numbered in order, with the figures orientated to the north. The start, controls and finish are joined with lines in numerical order. Sections of the lines or circles should be omitted to leave important detail showing.
Colour: purple.

603 Marked route
A marked route is shown on the map with a dashed line.
Colour: purple.

604 Finish
The finish is shown by two concentric circles.
Colour: purple.
605 Uncrossable boundary
A boundary which it it not permitted to cross.
Colour: purple.

606 Crossing point
A crossing point through or over a wall or fence, or across a street or railway or a tunnel is drawn on the map with two lines curving outwards.
Colour: purple.
