Richard Rasch lives in Saint Paul, Minnesota and has been mapping disc golf courses for almost 25 years. He started working with GIS data in 2001 after discovering that MAPublisher Lite would allow the import of TIGER/Line Shape files into Adobe Illustrator. A former high school choir director and computer graphics teacher, he earned a certificate in GIS and has always been fascinated by the way art and science intersect. He founded Custom Course Maps to create and publish highly detailed maps and signage for outdoor recreational activities, with an emphasis on terrain and elevation mapping.

Adjust elevation data for maps with a small footprint

Lidar elevation data is revolutionizing many aspects of mapmaking. It is important to process it for large/small footprint maps to take advantage of the high level of detail. I'll show you how I use it to make golf course maps and tee boards. These maps are not always oriented north up, so adding basic layers such as hill shading takes a few extra steps. My workflow includes QGIS and MAPublisher to create layers to get the right view for multiple small maps.

The Avenza User Conference is an opportunity to discover exciting new developments with Avenza's GIS and cartography solutions and to connect with colleagues and Avenza team members. Avenza users and contributors from around the world gather virtually every May to learn what's new with Avenza Maps, MAPublisher, Geographic Imager, and the Avenza Map Store, and to see how they're being used to shape our world. to map.
