[QUOTE="StanleyActual, post: 2241603, member: 119220"] A protractor is a key piece of kit for land Nav but depending on the type of area / terrain you’re navigating, how youve planned your route, and if you’ve stayed engaged in your surroundings / location along the way, will dictate how often you need to use it. Land nav gets a bit more involved I’ve found when dealing with thick canopy jungles environments with lots of micro terrain, limited field of view ie areas where terrain association becomes more difficult. Alot of it as [USER=97050]@dfanonymous[/USER] stated is route planning. Plan your route. Break it down into stages. Take note of key pieces of terrain / features and it’s orientation to you during different stages of that route. Keeps you from having your head buried in your map all the time and enables you to be more in tune with what’s going on around you. With a proper map, compass, protractor, and skill, you can 100% land nav without a gps. People been doing it for along time but it’s a heck of a helpful piece of kit to have at your disposal.
