### Mastering Basic Navigation: Map and Compass Techniques for Land Navigation ###

This guide covers the fundamentals of basic navigation using maps and compasses. Learn essential land navigation methods including pinpointing your position, understanding the Roamer Scale, and calculating distances traveled. We will explore crucial strategies such as following linear features (handrailing), utilizing attack points to improve accuracy, and ensuring you aim off to determine your turn direction. You'll also learn how to handle errors and uncertainty over distances, calculate timing, and the relationship between speed and distance traveled. Perfect for beginner navigators! ###
