Read a sample Read a sample
This classic map and compass navigation guide—newly revised for the age of GPS—offers a clear and concise master class on the art of orienteering.
 
GPS devices are great, but they can break, get lost, or easily be hampered by weather conditions, making basic map and compass skills essential for anyone who spends time outdoors. This popular, easy-to-use orienteering handbook has been helping people find their way for more than fifty years.
Now updated to include information on GPS as well as current Web sites, references, sources, and photographs, Be Expert with Map and Compass remains the book of choice for professional outdoorsmen and novice orienteers, as well as teachers, scout leaders, recreational hikers, hunters, and others around the world.
Coverage includes understanding map symbols; traveling by map alone, by compass alone, or by map and compass together; finding bearings; sketching maps; and traveling in the wilderness. If you want to feel at home in the wilderness, this updated guide is an indispensable reference.
