Land Navigation training introduces participants to map, compass, and GPS (Global Positioning System) use through a blend of classroom and tabletop exercises followed by practical field training. Content includes direction and location finding, route planning and following, declination, use of latitude/longitude and UTM grids, topographic maps, triangulation, and GPS navigation techniques. Improved leadership, self-confidence, and team interaction are collateral benefits of this course as candidates are required to work collaboratively to achieve common goals. With proper navigation skills, individuals can prevent dangerous situations on the land.
