at this years event of the swiss o-mappers I had the opportunity to speak about generalization of orienteering maps in Switzerland. I was invited by Beat Imhof and together with Urs Steiner we started a discussion about this really important topic.
In my introduction I referred to a report of Tore Sandvik in a blog at world-of-o. This blog entry gets more than twenty comments in less than two days. For me that shows how important generalization of orienteering maps has become.
