Even with new technology, such as Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, map and compass skills are still needed. Confidence with navigation skills comes with practice and proficiency. This confidence level often impacts how a person performs during a crisis - which can result in life or death decisions. Basic Land Navigation is an introduction to land navigation. It begins with a general overview of maps. Then it specifically addresses how to read topographic maps. Next it covers various types of geographic location systems, such as latitude\/longitude and Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM). This is followed by basic instructions on using a compass and clinometer. Then a general overview of the Global Positioning System is presented.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Wildfire Coordinating Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1492955043\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781492955047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.38d","brand":"National Wildfire Coordinating Group","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124071231743,"sku":"9781492955047","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bcc542e5-b384-4d8a-8ee8-30b83f8f69b9.jpg?v=1687434571","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/basic-land-navigation-national-wildfire-coordinating-group-9781492955047","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
