allow multiple maps in one event
Allow adding additional OCAD/bitmap maps to an event. If the additional maps overlap in any way, you would be able to mark a common point between the maps so that control locations automatically relate between the maps. This would allow:
- Different OCAD maps for 1:10000 and 1:15000 maps of the same area
- Map exchanges that actually use a different map
- Part of a course on a different scale.map of the same area
- Courses that are in different area entirely

Makes sense.

Having a different map on different courses while still sharing some controls is pretty much a normal case in almost every event I've been involved lately. Typically this is due map decorations, such as frames, club's logo etc. that are more feasible to prepare already with the mapping software (OCAD or OOM) for e.g. different map scales.

I have written a utility which converts PPEN files between two different maps. We are running an event with different parts of the same course on 1:7500 and 1:4000 maps. This allows a single course to be created with a map exchange, then migrated to the second map scale for printing. www.dorien.co.uk/PurplePenConverter
