Everett's Basic Navigation Course is a single-day event that teaches how to use a topographic map, compass, and altimeter for back country navigation. The course also emphasizes advance preparation, terrain reckoning, and route finding as a team responsibility. It includes lectures, indoor exercises, and outdoor navigation instruction and hands-on practice.
While this course is primarily intended for students of courses where graduation from the Navigation course is required, it is open to anyone interested in improving their land-based navigation skills. This course may be taken as a stand-alone course. There are no prerequistes.
