Reply to "Map making time frame"

I don't have layers or templates like the rest of you, as I use PowerPoint. But I do re-use maps if most of a route has already been drawn somewhere else, for another measurement. I can create a 5k map (in total) in about 2 to 10 hours, depending on the location of the course and the obstacles. More turns, more time; theme park, LOTS more time. Going digital was the largest help, as making changes didn't mean I started from scratch when I made an error or didn't like the way the map was laid out on the page.

I actually like the map making part of the process, as it gives me a creative outlet. I think that puts me in the minority with this August company of measurers. It only becomes a chore if there is a need to rush the job.
