7.6 Recommended symbols

The symbols for 1:15 000 foot orienteering maps, scaled to 1:5 000 and enlarged by 100% apply, with the following amendments.

Major amendments
Symbols 406 and 407 are deleted, symbols 405 and 408-410 are re-described:

405 Forest: good visibility
Typically open forest with good visibility of terrain features from the trails.

408 Forest: reduced visibility
Areas with denser trees giving significantly reduced visibility and preventing more distant terrain features from being used as control sites.

409 Undergrowth: reduced visibility
Areas with denser and taller undergrowth giving significantly reduced visibility and preventing lower terrain features from being used as control sites.

410 Vegetation: severely reduced visibility
Areas of very dense trees or undergrowth giving severely reduced visibility.

	832 Impassable step A step or section of trail that is unlikely to be passable by disabled competitors, even with assistance. The symbol is a cross line across the trail. Colour: black.
