Book Orientation methods with map, compass and GPS, outdoor navigation, expedition-ready for any terrain

Orientation is a means to an end – its goal is independence in unfamiliar terrain. To achieve this, it asks about location, direction, distance, and altitude. The user is guaranteed correct orientation: safe finding, efficient use of energy, and optimal use of time.

This book imparts the orientation knowledge and skills that make you independent. A map and compass are complemented by an altimeter, clock, pedometer, calculator, declination table, and GPS.

All suggested techniques are suitable for off-road use and apply worldwide: in the mountains and jungles, in the desert and—with occasional sight of land—on the water. Those who master them are ready for expeditions.
