context_page_description: An orienteering map is a map specially prepared for use in orienteering competitions. It is a topographic map with extra details to help the competitor navigate through the competition area.
  These maps are much more detailed than general-purpose topographic maps, and incorporate a standard symbology that is designed to be useful to anyone, regardless of native language. In addition to indicating the topography of the terrain with contour lines, orienteering maps also show forest density, water features, clearings, trails and roads, earthen banks and rock walls, ditches, wells and pits, fences and power lines, buildings, boulders, and other features of the terrain. Orienteering maps are 1:15 000 or 1:10 000 scale.
  The International Orienteering Federation publishes the standard for orienteering maps, including:
  ISOM, used for FootO forest maps.
  ISSOM, used for FootO sprint and TrailO maps.
  ISSkiOM, used for SkiO maps.
  ISMTBOM, used for MTBO maps.
