U.S. Army Guide to Map Reading and Navigation

Well written, full of info, actually quite pleasant to read. Military grade info.

Never be lost again. Great refresher and additional information for veterans. Small print, get your readers out

Good book but some pics are hard to see. Kind of like an old copy machine print that's been copied a dozen times.

This book is a definitive book used by the military to train soldiers how to navigate. Everything you would ever want to know about navigation and then some. The book explains in simple steps. What you need to do to figure out where you are. Where you going to go and where you wanna be. When the Military grid reference system first came out it was originally classified top secret. This book is a must read for all people who venture in the woods or plane are going into the wilderness on long treks. I bring the book along with me and refresh my skills while I am out there in the woods. When navigation is a perishable skill....Which means that if you do not practice it on a regular basis, You can lose your proficiency and speed in determining your location andsecond guess yourself.

My old land nav manual finally fell apart. Nice addition to my tech library and a nice refresher.

The print in this book is tiny and blurry. It looks like a copy of a copy.

This book had a ton of suggestions and information. I can't wait to try them out and hopefully won't get lost.

A US Army field manual. Great training and reference. Bought it to retain some lost skills. Much advised purchased if you want to learn navigation. Get a good lenstatic compass. Don't go cheap, you won't get to lost. Just a suggestion.

disappointed on the tiny font size and the very poor quality of the diagrams. Everything in black and white and almost impossible to read because of the general poor quality of the print very disappointing quality

Ich habe schon einige Rezensionen geschrieben, aber sowas ist mir bisher noch nie untergekommen. Ich hatte das kleine Buch in der Hoffnung bestellt, eine informative und verstaendliche Anleitung zur Orientierung im Gelaende und zum Arbeiten mit Karten zu erhalten. Die Enttaeuschung stellt sich nach Erhalt mit sofortiger Wirkung ein: das "Buch" ist schlicht und einfach eine verkleinerte Massenkopie eines Trainingsleitfadens der US Army. Die Qualitaet der Kopie ist zudem absolut unterirdisch - Beispielkarten sind erst gar nicht lesbar und teilweise ist auch der erklaerende Text kaum zu entziffern - da wird schon das Lesen zum Orientierungslauf! Zum Glueck hat das Buch nicht sehr viel gekostet, somit laesst sich dieser Fehlkauf dann doch verkraften. Wenigstens kann das US Army Naviationsbuch als Zunder fuer das Signalfeuer dienen, wenn man sich verlaufen hat :-) Fazit: bitte nicht kaufen. Ich mach mich bei Amazon erstmal auf die Suche nach einem nuetzlicherem Kauf.

Improve the print quality.

The print is not great and it is very heavy going full of information though and detailed, but bit too much I think
