NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Navigation is the process of monitoring and controlling the movement of a craft or vehicle from one place to another. It is also the term of art used for the specialized knowledge used by navigators to perform navigation tasks. All navigational techniques involve locating the navigator's position compared to known locations or patterns.
LENSATIC COMPASS

hyper-accuracy in land navigation and combat.

Uses a retractable lens to read while simultaneously
sighting an object.
Lensatic sighting compasses are so simple and rugged.
DETERMINING TRAVEL DISTANCE
How far is that mountain? An ability to judge distances accurately is not a natural gift, but it is a skill worth developing. Judging distances accurately can help to identify features and avoid wrong assumptions that could lead to trouble.
NIGHT NAVIGATION
Darkness presents its own characteristics for Land Navigation because of limited or no visibility.
The success in nighttime Land Navigation depends on rehearsals during the planning phase before the movement, such as detailed analysis of the map to determine the type of terrain in which the navigation is going to take place and the predetermination of azimuths and distances.
