Introduction to Navigation Workshop (Saturday Option)

(there has been a change of date for these trips due to constuction works occurring at the McGregor residence, now both are occurring on Saturday 24th) An afternoon workshop introducing you to the fundamentals of Navigation.

• What is a map?
• North – what is it really?
• Common terminology
• What do all those funny numbers mean?
• What is magnetic declination/variation and why should I care?
• An overview of navigation aids and how to use them

What to Bring:

• Compass (if you have one)
• A/some maps (if you have any)
• Questions (I reckon you’ll have some of those)

We’ll try to improve your understanding of how to get the most out of your GPS, maps and perhaps get lost a little less often … (Remember, you’re not lost if you don’t know where you are, only if you don’t know where you’re going) Be there for 12:00 pm, aiming to finish around 4-4:30pm Where: Kym and Mitch’s place, Rochedale South (Parking available on Exilis Street What3Words Address)
