ENVR154 Maps and Navigation

ENVR 154 Maps and Navigation focuses on the navigation skills required of technologists working outdoors to locate oneself, stay "found", and return safely from the field. The course includes hands-on use of navigation tools in field settings including map, compass, aerial imagery, altimeter, and Global Positioning System (GPS). Pre-trip planning in a navigation context will also be covered including developing access plans and route plans, and estimating travel times.
