Wilderness Navigation Collection: How to Navigate with and without GPS, Map Reading and Compass Use Book 1. Wilderness Navigation For Dummies: Get Yourself Out And Find Your Way Without GPS Have you ever been lost in the wilderness? People get lost every year while traveling in the wilderness, and some of those people are unfortunate enough to not make it out alive. Even just getting lost while driving on a country road can be enough to give most people a scare. You're out there away from civilization, and suddenly you have no idea where you are. While it's just a matter of turning on the GPS on your smartphone, or using local signs to find your way back in the right direction, that's not always the case. Do you want to learn how to navigate without relying on modern technology? Your GPS might be pretty handy now, but what would you do if the batteries died before you made it home? How would you find your way back without a map and compass to guide you? What you'll learn in this book: What to do if you get lost. How to read a map, and how to buy a good one in the first place. Proper compass use, and tips for getting one that will work when you need it the most. Navigation with or without a map and compass. Orienting yourself, so you know where you are. Basic survival skill essentials, in case the worst does happen. This introductory book for beginners is the perfect place to start! Book 2.

No one likes getting lost, and even the best navigators find themselves in tricky situations. The difference between those people, and your average traveler, is the information of how to navigate in difficult terrain. You can learn just that, with the information contained in this book. What you will find in this book: Advanced map reading techniques, including a range of new methods for finding your bearing, even when you're nowhere near notable features or man-made structures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed for both land and water use, this comprehensive guide helps unlock the complexity of map and chart reading as it relates to navigation. Beginning with detailed technical descriptions of the tools of navigation—a compass, an altimeter, a GPS system, and a sextant—this handbook shows how to use these tools either individually or in combination with each other to navigate any area. Factors that cause tools and techniques to fail are discussed, such as why an altimeter often shows the wrong elevation, a GPS position is sometimes off track, and the sun often points in an unexpected direction. Twenty-one real-life scenarios provide practical wisdom for even the most intrepid navigator. Specific information on using the moon for directions and the stars for position, measuring boiling water temperature for elevation, map projections, map datums, great circle routes, and the UTM/UPS grid system is included.

Rich with navigational anecdotes collected across ages, continents, and cultures, The Natural Navigator will help keep you on course and open your eyes to the wonders, large and small, of the natural world.
