Orienteering: Navigate Fast with Map and Compass

About this course

Orienteering is the sport that turns navigation into a game: you use a specially drawn map to visit checkpoints in order, as fast as you can, choosing your own route between them. This course teaches you the basics of the sport from the map symbols to the control flags, the compass skills that keep you on line at running speed, and the route-choice thinking that separates winners from wanderers. You can start at any permanent course in a city park, and every lesson ends with practice ideas you can try today.
