The Brunton Compass & Map Navigator book is an easy to read tutorial on the use and handling of a compass. Once you've read the instruction, studied the illustrations, and made a few practice runs, you'll begin to feel like a pro. Next stop, an Eco-Challenge race. The book starts with the basics of understanding maps, then demonstrates how to make the map and compass work for you. You’ll learn how to make the all important declination adjustment, how to take field bearings and how to fix your position on a baseline. Perhaps most important, you'll learn how to pinpoint your position on the ground by using triangulation. There is a section on advanced navigation using altimeters and GPS that is very handy. The book was written by Michael Hodgson a veteran Eco-Challenger racer, author and webmaster for GearTrends, an information web site for outdoor products. Read Michael's book and you won't get lost in the wilds, or the barrios.
