In this course, we will use two pieces of free software:

• Karttapullautin which is a free software that we will use to generate contours from the lidar data (get the latest version here: https://github.com/rphlo/karttapullautin/releases/latest)
• LAStools - a suite of lidar processing tools some of which are free and we will use in the class (see here: https://rapidlasso.de/product-overview/)

In addition you have the option of using your orienteering mapping software of choice (OCAD or OOM) to import the contours into your project. 

Participants do not need previous experience using any of the software tools though some familiarity with OCAd or OOM will be of benefit. 

Using Zoom
A zoom link will be provided to registered participants by email. Please be set up ready to go for the start of the class with working audio and the software downloaded and installed so we don't have to take precious course time to sort that out.

Please participate from a laptop or desktop computer so you can use the software as intended. We strongly recommend you connect to zoom from a second device so you can follow the instructor on zoom while using your computer to practice the skills being presented.
