Old and new maps - similar terrain but different mapping styles
I don't think I've ever run in the forest where the JWOC middle race took place. But, I've run in similar terrain around Goteborg. Here's a map from an IK Uven training back in....well, it doesn't really matter. It was a long time ago.
Below is a map from the JWOC middle. You can see the similarity in the structure of the terrain, but it is striking how different the maps look. The JWOC map has much more detail, in particular there is a lot of vegetation detail. That's consistent with the way O' mapping seems to be progressing.
