Seattle Navigation Courses and Programs

The Seattle Navigation Committee offers the following courses:

  • Wilderness Navigation Course: This is the comprehensive navigation course that is required by many other Mountaineers courses. It covers the use and integration of Maps, Compass, Altimeter, and GPS.
    • Who should take this course?
      • I want to learn about on and off-trail navigation and all the tools that I have at my disposal
      • I need a basic navigation badge that is a requirement for other courses such as Basic Alpine Climbing and Alpine Scrambling.
  • Instructor Training for Wilderness Navigation: Training specifically for the wilderness navigation's workshop and field trip.
    • Who should take this course?
      • I have signed up to instruct one or more activities as part of the Wilderness Navigation Course.
  • Wilderness Navigation Equivalency: You will earn a Basic Navigation badge
    • Who should take this?
      • I have the skills mastered for Wilderness Navigation.
      • I can teach these skills as you will be required to teach these skills to students as part of the Wilderness Navigation course.
      • Go to the  Equivalency for Seattle Wilderness Navigation page for more information and how to apply.
  • Introduction to Map and Compass: an introductory overview of map and compass, designed to be an entry level course with an interactive video conference session and an urban environment field trip for hands on practice.
    • Who should take this?
      • I want an introduction to map and compass and don't want to commit to a more comprehensive course.
  • GaiGPS and CalTopo: Course covering GPS navigation offered in an online self-paced course with an interactive video conference session.
    • Who should take this class?
      • I want to learn about digital navigation basics, gps routes, waypoints, tracking, and mapping.
      • GaiGPS and Caltopo are used as the tools for teaching, but many of the core concepts can be transferred to your applications and devices of choice.
  • On-Trail Navigation: Course for On-Trail Navigation.  Details coming soon...
