Event details: REI Outdoor School - Map and Compass Basics

Map and Compass and GPS: two valuable tools to any outing. Join our REI Outdoor School instructor as we teach you the basics of how to use your map and compass and GPS receiver. We?ll show you how to read a map, orient it to match your surrounding and the differences between true north and magnetic north. We?ll also show you how to plot your current position on your map. Then, we?ll talk about GPS receivers and how they use space age technology to help you figure out exactly where you are!

Please bring your GPS unit and compass if you?ve got them, however, GPS units will be available for class use.
