A great value! Two military manuals combine into one book. If you purchase both books separate you will pay more for the books plus shipping cost. Map Reading and Land Navigation: Institution courses are designed to prepare the soldier for a more advanced duty position in his unit. The critical soldiering skills of move, shoot, and communicate must be trained, practiced, and sustained at every level in the schools as well as in the unit. The map reading and land navigation skills taught at each level are critical to the soldiering skills of the duty position for which he is being school-trained. Therefore, they are also a prerequisite for a critical skill at a more advanced level. USMC Land Navigation Sergeants Course: Marine Corp.

This bestselling manual now thoroughly revised and updated is designed for anyone who wants to chart a course in the wilderness: hiker, backpacker, snowshoer, skier, fisherman, or hunter. Step by step, it teaches the skills that enable you to answer the vital questions: Where am I now? Which way do I head to reach my destination? How far is it? And how long will it take me to get there? Included here are the basics of interpreting maps and orienting by compass, as well as more advanced techniques for measuring distances and estimating travel times; determining and adjusting for local declination around the globe; using an altimeter to add the dimension of height to one’s position; and navigation by means of sun and stars. In updating the late W. S. Kals’s text, Clyde Soles focuses on the latest developments in technology and equipment, such as digital mapping software and handheld GPS units, and provides an overview of marine navigation for sea kayakers. Visuals include a full-color foldout topographic map for reference and practice, plus dozens of helpful drawings and photographs.

For a soldier, knowing where you are is a matter of life and death, and so it comes as no surprise that the Army has produced the most complete, clear, and thorough guide to map reading and navigation available.The book starts with a comprehensive explanation of the meaning and uses of maps, whether photographic, planimetric (standard-style) or topographic, then progresses to discuss the use of those maps, discussing compass techniques, celestial navigation, and determination of distance. There is a detailed section on interpreting topographic maps, with notes on tactical considerations for differing terrain, as well as determining the ease of movement through an area.Chapters include:Training Strategy - Maps -Marginal Information and Symbols - Grids - Scale and Distance -Direction - Overlays - Aerial Photographs - Navigation Equipment and Methods - Elevation and Relief - Terrain Association - Mounted Land Navigation - Navigation in Different Types of Terrain - Unit SustainmentThere is also information on field sketching, the tricky art of map folding, units of measure and conversion factors, map symbols, orienteering, and the global positioning system (GPS).For the adult outdoorsman venturing into the wild, the Boy Scout, or the serious military buff, the Army's guide to map reading and navigation is an indispensable must.

The latest general introduction with to maps, security, topographic map symbols, grids, the use of overlays, aerial photographs, land navigation, use of compass, orienteering and much more. This is the finest book available on the subject, and is used by the Armed Forces. Very well illustrated, you are lost without it.

Here is a revolutionary, simple, and practical method of coastal piloting. At the heart of the system is visual navigation with emphasis on using land formation and navards to determine a boat's position. In clear, lively prose, Eyges unfolds the system step by step. There are also valuable new insights on reading charts, adjusting a compass, and avoiding collisions.

Cruising sailors who venture beyond the sign of land - on either sailboats or powerboats - should have a thorough knowledge of celestial navigation to allow them to plot and follow a course. On long sailing races, this facility becomes critically important to winning. Celestial navigation, an exact science, is not the mystery it has been made out to be. As the author shows, all the navigator needs in the way of equipment is a relatively inexpensive sextant - specific recommendations are given - and a reasonably accurate timepiece. All the rest is in this book, which is a complete navigation system in itself. Each step in this system is clearly explained, and the book is illustrated throughout by simple yet precise line drawings and charts.

A guide to finding your way on land - from the basic principles right up to the advanced technology of GPS. Designed to allow even the absolute beginner to find their way anywhere in the world, it also develops a unique confidence in navigation - with or without technical aids.

The primary focus of Fundamentals of High Accuracy Inertial Navigation is on the physical and mathematical principles forming the basis for inertial navigation. The material in the book is directly applicable to the inertial navigation of all types of vehicles whether on land, in or on the ocean, in the atmosphere, or in space in the vicinity of the Earth.

Inertial navigation is widely used for the guidance of aircraft, missiles, ships and land vehicles, as well as in a number of novel applications such as surveying underground pipelines in drilling operations. This book sets out to provide a clear and concise description of the physical principles of inertial navigation, the associated growth of errors and their compensation. There is also detailed treatment of recent developments in inertial sensor technology and a description of techniques for implementing and evaluating such systems. This new edition includes a number of refinements covering sensor technology, geodesy and error modelling, plus new chapters on MEMS technology and inertial systems applications.

Covering from the 16th to the early 20th centuries, profiles explorers, missionaries, traders, whalers, naturalists, and other Europeans who have, by accident or design, contributed significantly to the knowledge of the Pacific and its lands. The articles vary in length from a paragraph to a couple pages, depending on the subject's importance and the available information. The bibliography is by European country.
