The International Orienteering Federation has introduced four new map symbols. The new symbols were added in February and become mandatory from 1 January 2025. The new symbols are:
- New course symbol for the start of a continuing course after a map flip/map exchange
- Retaining earth wall
- Area with obstacles (Sprint maps only)
- Dangerous pit (Forest maps only. Note the current Rocky Pit symbol (black V) still exists).
Detailed definitions can be found in the O-Map wiki.
