Great For Begginers
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.
