A practical guide to compass navigation

This guide introduces compass use through several complementary topics: navigation instructions, the parts of a compass, and the device’s history. Its subject connects practical wayfinding with outdoor exploration, while the publisher description frames compass skills as a useful alternative when phone batteries, GPS signals, or data are unavailable. The book is presented as an accessible introduction for younger and older explorers, with tips and facts alongside the how-to material.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in camping or outdoor activities
  • Beginning navigators who want to learn compass basics
  • Families looking for an outdoor-oriented guide to explore together
