The parts and features, and how to sight a selected landmark with the lensatic compass using the Compass-to-Cheek or the Center-hold method.
What the data in the map's margin represents, map care and how to properly fold a map. Maps come in three scale sizes; SMALL, MEDIUM, and LARGE. Which affects the amount of area covered and detail that will be shown. Map language that is simple to understand. BUT you must first know what the symbols represent, in order to read and speak map language to others.
Relief shows elevation; it indicates variations in terrain features and heights of natural features. What the protractor is for. Map is read for four basic kinds of information; direction, distance, postion, and identification.
Lateral drift, current bearing, obstacles, back azimuth, deliberate offset.
With map only. Modified Resection with map or compass and Distance Resection. Two methods to locate your position with compass bearings. There is no need to orient the map to find your position. This is good to use when navigators have the same maps and need to communicate their location to others using cooordinates. Map straight-line distance, map curvature distance, and map slope distance.
How to pace count with Ranger Pacing Beads. Estimating rate of SPEED is essential when calculating the amount of time it will take to traverse a route. Estimation by 100 Meter rule, estimation by Rule-of-Thumb, estimation by Time.
Group or alone, equipment, safety, responsibilities, study map terrain, route selection. Advance reference points and advance baselines, Thumb-the-Map. Estimating daylight left, conserving energy, prevent blisters, weather insight, and estimating distance with the Lensatic Compass Mils (Technique 1 and Technique 2), Distance Resection, and drawing your own map. Special environments; terrains that can be featureless, rough, dense, unpredictable footing, and unpredictable weather or visibility.
Night adaptation, protecting night vision, Lensatic Compass night navigating.
