Urban Basketball?

I came across this map today:



It is from "Urb-O", which seems to be a way to begin to introduce kids to orienteering. You can see a short video.

I also came across a Norwegian newspaper story about the event. Since Google Translate just added Swedish and Norwegian, it seemed like a good opportunity for a test. Here is a bit of the article translated by Google:

Urb-o stands for Urban Basketball, and is a newly-established offerings for children and young people in Sandviken. Every Thursday, anyone who wants to be with and run - with or without a map.

Basketball? Google translated "orientering" to "basketball."

  1. Interesting ultra-sprint-style idea (not sure if it's Urb-o or Turb-o, the graphic isn't obvious.)

    Curious that your graphic shows an aerial photograph but with the map key. The video shows they were using "normal" orienteering maps.
