>>About >Holiday Mappers

Holiday Mappers were created by Ivo Habán as the label of the high quality orienteering maps, made mostly by czech mapmakers. Those mapmakers have often a different working professions, but they make orienteering maps on the top level. What join that people is the passion for orienteering and friendship. The holiday mappers have mapping and travelling in their blood and they can´t exist longer time without. The name "Holiday mappers" originated as a joke from the fact, that many mapmakers we cooperate with have mapping as a half-time job and they have to take a holiday for it. It is possible thanks to their fanatism and thanks to the understanding of their families and partners.

Holiday Mappers is the sign of quality. Reach this result is possible by two ways. Make every map by your own (one map-one mapmaker) or choose the mapping team very carefully and don't work with too many people in one project.

During last 17 years Holiday Mappers were glad to cooperate with the greatest icons of czech and the world mapping scene like Zdeněk Lenhart, Petr Hranička, Petr Mareček (mapmakers of WOC 2008), Evžen Cigoš, Vlastislav Šebesta or Martin Lejsek.

Among czech mapmakers - except the meant above - we prefer and recommend the partnership with Radovan Čech, Petr Cigoš, Jiří Daněk, Aleš Hejna, Ondřej Kotecký, Osvald Kozák, Luděk Krtička, Zdeněk Liščinský, Josef Marduk, Petr Matula, Robert Miček (Slovakia), Radim Ondráček, Zdeněk Sokolář, Martin Telecký and Petr Turczer. And despite the fact, that not all combinations can be freely interbreed.

After the initial embarrassment wake increasing sympathy Adam Chromý, Zdeněk Rajnošek and other young guys who clearly go up and push forward the development of mapping. In addition, of course, has other good mapmakers not mentioned, because they all know is not easy: Jordi Marek, Martin Tichý.
