Furthermore, on orienteering
maps,a course consists of a triangle,
circles, a double circle and
sometimes connecting lines all in
purple. The triangle is the start. The
double circle is the finish. All the
circles in between
are checkpoints. Numbered orange
and white flags are placed in the
terrain to show you that you have
reached the correct location. At each
checkpoint, you will punch
registering that you found the correct
location. You may use any
route you want between checkpoints.
