Control Card
The competitor uses a multiple-choice control card and interprets the map to choose which one of the control markers in the terrain represents the one marked at the map. In Elite Trail Orienteering, also none of the markers could be correct, leading to the answer "Zero". A less common form involves determining the position on a map of a control viewed from a set point 30 – 40 metres away.

Famous quotes containing the words control and/or card:
“There is one thing you and I as parents cannot do, not do we want to do if we really think about it, and that’s control our children’s will—that spirit that lets them be themselves apart from you and me. They are not ours to possess, control, manipulate, or even to make mind.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
“The Card Catalogue: “See also” leads into the wilderness.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
