Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a practical guide to quickly understanding topographic maps. The author recognizes that maps differ in nature from civil maps, such as those for driving directions, and clarifies the need for military-specific details. Three essential elements are required for deciphering military maps: familiarity with the symbols, comprehension of the scale, and an understanding of how to determine direction from the map. The book subsequently provides a detailed breakdown of map symbols for various terrain features, constructions, roads, and more. It then goes on to teach the reader how to construct custom scales to translate map measurements into real-world distances. Finally, the author explains how to use a compass to orient a map and determine directions on the ground from a map. The author's thorough approach ensures the reader will gain a comprehensive understanding of map reading and the ability to apply this knowledge in a military context.
