The last week I had time to work on a small tool for Orienteering Mappers and Course Setters: OcadDiff. OcadDiff takes two versions of an Ocad Map or Course Setting file and shows the difference between the two versions:
Basically it compares all objects of both files and shows a preview image for each object which is not anymore in the map or which gots added to the map.

OcadDiff can be downloaded from the download page.

Currently OcadDiff has a limited function set and there are some restrictions users must know:

• Only changes to objects will be shown. Changes to symbols, courses or other settings will be ignored
• If an object changes OcadDiff will show the object once as removed and once as added, since it does not understands that the added and removed object are actually the same
• There is no support for background maps
• Some symbols like a earth wall or a small erosion gully are not drawn correctly

If you find other issues or you have ideas for additional features don't hesitate to create a GitHhub issue or to drop me a line via email: me@yannisguedel.ch. And if you are a developer, don't hesitate to contribute with a pull request!
