Review: It's been 25 years since my Boy Scout days and this book really helped me re-learn how to use a compass. Very easy to read and the practice questions at the end of each chapter are of huge help. The key techniques are also summarized on 3 pages so you can just take a photo of them to bring with you on your phone when hiking instead of the whole book. I was able to successfully navigate through a thick woods using just my compass to find a spot pre-selected on my map. I was also able to find my location on the map based on different physical landmarks and plot a course in advanced using a topographical map. So the book really does work. Review: Generally good book for beginners. The author presented a new view on some techniques compared to other sources, which was helpful. Lots of maps in the book, very helpful, unfortunately of not so good quality making them difficult to read. Can recommend this book to anyone. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #237,509 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #119 in History & Criticism of Science Fiction & Fantasy #617 in Hiking & Camping #73,487 in Children's Books | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,613) | | Dimensions | 13.97 x 1.14 x 21.59 cm | | Edition | 3rd ed. | | ISBN-10 | 1594859450 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1594859458 | | Item weight | 1.05 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 176 pages | | Publication date | 24 February 2015 | | Publisher | Mountaineers Books | | Reading age | 5 years and up | ## Images ![Wilderness Navigation: Finding Your Way Using Map, Compass, Altimeter & Gps, 3rd Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91WplqgwouL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by W***S on 25 January 2017* It's been 25 years since my Boy Scout days and this book really helped me re-learn how to use a compass.

The author presented a new view on some techniques compared to other sources, which was helpful. Lots of maps in the book, very helpful, unfortunately of not so good quality making them difficult to read. Can recommend this book to anyone. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***N on 10 October 2020* After trying very hard again and again on the internet to find out how to use a compass, I was confused, perplexed, frustrated, annoyed (with myself), and fed up. I have just finished "studying" this book, and it is BRILLIANT. The exercises at the end of each chapter were fun, and let you know whether you have really understood what you've been reading. Now I spend a lot of time every day outdoors with the dog, practicing, and it's amazing and fun. I can do it, I enjoy it, and really - it is easy! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/279080183-wilderness-navigation-finding-your-way-using-map-compass-altimeter-gps](https://www.desertcart.in/products/279080183-wilderness-navigation-finding-your-way-using-map-compass-altimeter-gps) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
