What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to read, interpret, and apply topographic maps for smart decisions on tricky terrains. You'll master contour lines, map scales, distances, and symbols, then use them to plot secure paths, gauge elevation changes, and figure out travel times. Develop strong off-grid navigation, hazard evaluation, and contingency planning methods for quick, spot-on map-driven route planning in tough areas.
