Be Expert With Map & Compass by Bjorn Kjellstrom (1994,
I have recently started geocaching and have been dependant on gps to help me locate various caches. I wanted to learn about using a compass and terrain maps. I got the book in the mail yesterday and have read almost half so far. The book has a great practice map included and has various skill tests to perform after you have read. It is a very easy read and really informative. It doesnt use high tech terms that are difficult to understand.
I dont know at this time if there is a more updated version that would deal with incorporating gps or not, but this is a definate recommended book for any outdoors person. It does have a section included on orientering competetions that doesnt really interest me at this moment, I was only looking for information on learning how to use map and compass in the field. But this would be a great resource for someone looking to master these skills.
