Patronising 3 Jan 2003

By Alan Gornall

Format:Paperback

This book is very much for beginners, and the style is such that if you have any prior knowledge, you may feel that you are being talked down to. All discussion of maps refers to the USGS maps, so it is not as relevant as it could be to a UK reader, although the exercises are useful, even though the supplied solutions are not annotated as in the best modern text books.

Wilderness navigation 14 Dec 1999

By Timothy Watters - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This book may be small enough to carry as a primer on land navigation for folks venturing into the wilds without knowledge or experience of map and compass skills.

However, as a text on land navigation skills it was disappointing. Better choices would be the Land Navigation Handbook: The Sierra Club Guide to Map and Compass by W. Kals (excellent) or M. Ferguson's GPS Land Navigation: A Complete Guidebook for Backcountry Users of the NAVSTAR Satellite System (also excellent).

Excellent introductory volume 8 May 2003

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have been teaching orienteering for seven years, and this book is everything I could ask for in an introductory text. There are more advanced books, it is true, but this book is reasonably priced, highly readable, and complete enough for the beginning through intermediate adventurer.

In a sure and concise way this book will explain you how to use map and compass so simple, in an easy way and without time wasting

OFFERS USEFUL EXTRA INFORMATION

Book have explanations about how to use altimeters and some considerations about altimeter performance under different weather conditions and this a good reason to include this book in your shopping list.

I have bought other 2 books about map and compass using, and this book includes information others doesn't have
