Orienteering for those that don’t run through the forests is called Trail O (http://orienteeringusa.org/orienteers/trail) in the states
but Precision Orienteering (http://fr-fr.facebook.com/pages/Precision-orienteering/108216672545553) elsewhere. It requires the highest degree of skill in map reading. It can be done from a wheelchair or with any method to move the participant to the area of the control.
