Re: Good book on navigation
Frank Reid" writes while programing his GPS..............:
>> As previously mentioned, I love my GPS receiver. I enjoy all
kinds of navigation, including "primitive" instrumentless forms.
An excellent book on that subject is _Nature is Your Guide_
(subtitle: How to Find Your Way on Land and Sea) by Harold Gatty
(1958). Penguin Books (1979) ISBN 0 14 00.5076 0 (Possibly out of
print; I think it was republished under the title, _Finding Your
Way on Land and Sea_. Check author listing in _Books in Print_.)
>> It contains numerous ways of orienting oneself by observing
subtle natural clues, and should enhance anyone's enjoyment of the
outdoors.
Thanx for the book titles, will look in libaray for. Used to
be many, many yrs ago a "sneaky pete" in US Army, was taught and
used all methods. It's like after you learn to ride a bike, you
never forget, but once an awhile you must ride one, ie, refresh
your memory.
PS Just replied to your first msg, via this list, that's why doing
this one here, reason you'll see when you read that post.
