Reference Materials

The O-Store has created a series of Reference Guides to help users become comfortable reading and interpreting orienteering maps and courses. Scroll down to select from a laminated set, a waterproof paper set or a free downloadable version.
This new version from May 2026 has been updated to the latest international orienteering standards.

This Demo compass is a great addition for teachers or leaders of orienteering programmes for newcomers. Its size is 25 x 37 cm. It is made of a white plastic that works well as a white board - so you can mark it up when working with it. The compass housing (circle with degree marking on it) and the compass needle both rotate a full 360 degrees.
