5 out of 5 stars Be Expert With Map & Compass Bjorn Kjellstrom   December 22, 2008
Although I have knowlege of orienteering this book reinforces that information and covers much more in a well explaned and easy to understand step by step process. What's more the courses that the book offer are fun interactive activities that also reinfoce each method of orienteering explanded in this book. Most anyone can benifit from this text.


1 out of 5 stars vastly disappointed   December 9, 2007
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

I think the few pages of map/compass reading, undestanding and wilderness orienteering pale in comparison to all the games, gatherings and contests the author discusses.

For the price, vastly overrated, over priced.

I was mislead by positive ratings. Many better and more detailed books out there.

Learn how to navigate in the woods with this guide to the compass. All boy scouts will love these tips. This is the most comprehensive guide of its kind.


5 out of 5 stars The Best Of   March 19, 2007

This is the best book I have found on learning to use the Map and Compass and Orienteering. This book teaches you all you need to learn to be an "Expert". There are many exercises offered to help you teach Orienteering to a group such as your Boy Scout Troop.I bought a couple of other books on the subject before this one. I wished I had purchased this one first as I would not have needed another resource.


4 out of 5 stars Learning map & compass   January 25, 2007

Very good basic map & compass course. Formal training in the military gave me a good working knowledge and the confidence to use it. This book will help instill those same principles.
