    Item # 803685

    REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

      Comments about Be Expert with Map and Compass - 3rd Edition:

      Bought this to refresh my nav skills. This book is geared more towards beginners or someone trying to teach navigation. Has lots of exercises and the like to use as teaching aids. If you are like me and have quite a bit of map and compass navigation and you want a quick tune up then this is probably a little too much reading for you. All in all a great book though.

      I would also sugest buying an orienteering compass with the book if you have never used one.

      • Was this a gift?:
      • No

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
