Overview
Purple Pen is course designing software for orienteering. Purple Pen makes it easy to design orienteering courses and their associated control descriptions.
Design your courses visually — directly on any OCAD map, OpenOrienteering Mapper map, or PDF map. View the course and the control descriptions at the same time, and simply click on the control descriptions to set the correct description for each control. Purple Pen automatically does all the busywork.
