Recently laser scanning has started to influence the process of making orienteering maps. Besides its use for generating precise contours, efforts are being made to extract additionally orienteering-relevant information out from laser scanning data. Finally, this leads to an already possible automatic derivation of orienteering maps. The aim of this article is to provide a review of relevant literature on this topic which have been published over the last five years. Of course the enumerated literature is not complete. A lot of examples and introductions to the practical use of laser scanning data can be found in the internet.
