Navigating with a map and compass seems to be a disappearing skill. However, I think using a map and compass is a basic requirement for anyone traveling in the wilderness, even if they might also have a phone or other GPS navigation devices with them. With this video, I want to lower the threshold for any hiker or camper to start orienteering with a map and compass. Experienced hikers usually know how to take the deviation into account, but polar correction is something that many experienced hikers are unfamiliar with. In addition, magnetic declination and polar correction are discussed in this video through never-before-seen 3D simulations ???? Thanks to Teemu Saloriutta and luonnonvalo.net for the wonderful consultation, especially regarding polar correction ???? Hiking, camping, winter hiking.
