This intensive one-day course provides a number of useful and practical skills in topography and navigation. Through theoretical lectures and practical exercises the course participants will understand the basics of coordinate reference systems and learn how to determine geographic position and elevation points, especially in modes such as Lat / Long, UTM or MGRS. They will learn how work effectively and navigate the map based on topographic records. They will learn how to work with compass and maps to determine their own location in the terrain and then use the knowledge of map marks to plan the route with respect to military tactical aspects
The course is designed for those interested in topography and navigation with a focus on the WGS84 geodetic system
The aim of the course is to understand the basics of coordinate reference systems, to learn how to correctly derive and determine geographic position and elevation points in Lat / Long, UTM or MGRS, orientate in the field through map and efficiently plan the routes
