What will I learn?

Learn properly how to find your way in the bush or anywhere else using maps and other tools. This course is specially made for people who work with the environment. You'll learn all about topographic maps, how to understand the signs and symbols, how to read the contour lines that show how steep or flat the land is, and how to spot important things on the ground that can help you know where you are. You'll also get good at using a compass, following different routes, finding bearings (the direction you're going), and fixing your compass for declination (the difference between true north and magnetic north). You'll learn how to plan your journeys properly, keeping all your information organized and making clear pictures to help you. You'll also learn how to deal with problems like rivers, thick bush, or hills, and how to change your plans if you need to. And you’ll get better at making good decisions by looking at the land and choosing the best way to go.
