"Required reading for the beginner in map and comp work, as well as for those interested in serious Orienteering. In simple, clear, concise terms the basics of map and comp work are described and illustrated."
â George T. Hamilton, Appalachia
This new, enlarged edition of Be Expert with Map & Comp includes everything the beginner needs to know about the increasingly popular sport of Orienteering: understanding map symbols; traveling by map alone, by comp alone, or by map and comp together; finding bearings; sketching maps; and traveling in the wilderness. Other updated sections cover competitive Orienteering, how to join an Orienteering event or organize your own, and useful hints for competitive and wilderness Orienteering. In addition to the revisions throughout, the author has interspersed the text with reminiscences of his more than fifty years of experience with map and comp. Drawing crowds of 25,000 participants at international events, the sport of Orienteering is more popular than ever. The Orienteering world champions were held in the United States for the first time in 1993. For Orienteers and scouts, avid outdoorspeople, and anyone who wants to feel more comfortable in the wilderness, this updated guide is an indispensable reference.
