But in spite of its popularity in Europe, the sport remains relatively unknown in Taiwan. Given how few people participate and that only two organizations--the Chinese-Taipei Orienteering Association and the Chinese-Taipei Orienteering Federation--are so far promoting it, it's very clear that orienteering is barely a blip on the radar of Taiwan's sporting scene.
然而，這個看似簡單但風靡歐洲大陸的運動，對於台灣民眾來說卻是陌生的，參加的人還是少數，目前推動的民間團體也只有「中華民國定向越野協會」和「中華定向運動協會」兩個單位，相較於其他分佈於全國的運動協會，簡直小巫見大巫。
