Everett Navigation Program
Navigation is about planning routes and then finding the way during back country travel, using a map, compass, altimeter, GPS, terrain features and common sense.
Everett's Basic Navigation Course is a single-day event that teaches how to use a topographic map, compass, and altimeter for wilderness navigation.
The course also emphasizes advance preparation, terrain reckoning, and route finding as a team responsibility. The course includes lectures, indoor exercises, outdoor navigation instruction and hands-on practice.
While this course is primarily intended for students of courses where graduation from the Navigation course is required, it is open to anyone interested in improving their land-based navigation skills.
This course may be taken as a stand-alone course. There are no prerequisites.
