GPS devices are great, but they can break, get lost, or easily be hampered by weather conditions, making basic map and com skills essential for anyone who spends time outdoors. This popular, easy-to-use orienteering handbook, Be Expert with Map and Com 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, it remains the book of choice for professional outdoorsmen, novice orienteers, and outdoor organizations as well as teachers, scout leaders, recreational hikers, hunters, and others around the world.
Coverage includes understanding map symbols; traveling by map alone, by com alone, or by map and com together; finding bearings; sketching maps; and traveling in the wilderness.
Required reading for the beginner in map and com work, as well as for those interested in serious orienteering. In simple, clear, concise the basics of map and com work are described and illustrated. - George T. Hamilton, Appalachia
