Recreation & Leisure - Land Navigation - Map, Compass and GPS Skills

Stay found! With a map and compass, or satellites, you will never be confused again. Learn how to use essential outdoor navigation tools to travel by foot to a destination. Determine your location using triangulation techniques or GPS coordinates. A new aspect to this class is Geocaching. Plan to hike to locate geocaches. Backpacker Phil Starr will introduce these staying-found skills at Eisenhower Park (19399 NW Military Hwy., next to Camp Bullis). Dress comfortably, bring water and wear sturdy shoes. Topographic maps and compasses will be provided for class use. Bring a handheld GPS unit if you have one or plan to look on.
