We thought it might be a good idea to throw a couple of good websites out there for rookie teams that might not be familiar with UTM coordinates or how to plot them.

The maps you will be using for the majority of the race will be 1:24000 scale. This is the scale most common for navigation in adventure races. This will be the scale that teams will use to plot the CPs (5 or less.) A 1:24000 scale UTM grid tool will be provided to each team. The trekking/orienteering section will be using 1:15000 scale but no CPs in this section will have to be plotted. Feel free to use the forum for questions on plotting.
