  1. Land Navigation for Ground Team Leaders Developed as part of the National Emergency Services Curriculum Project

  2. What are your responsibilities? • Team Leaders are responsible for knowing the ins and outs of the maps of their area • Team members only know basic field work normally

  3. What are maps? • A 2 dimensional representation of a 3 dimensional area. • A tool • A universal reference that teams can aid teams in coordination.

  4. Longitude

  5. Latitude

  6. Latitude and Longitude Examples

  7. Gridded Maps • Read Right, then Up • Typically metric examples, but are often used with overlays as well • Give location with varying numerical accuracy.

  8. Sample Map Grid

  9. Four Digit Accuracy

  10. Six Digit Accuracy

  11. The CAP Grid System

  12. Magnetic Variation & the Declination Diagram • Compasses are affected by iron ore deposits throughout the earth, causing them to not point at the true north, but rather then magnetic north • This variation is known, and maps show the corrections to be made in the form of the declination diagram

  13. Lines of Magnetic Variation

  14. Declination Diagrams

  15. Map Scale

  16. Sample Map Symbols

  17. The 3 Dimensional Model

  18. Using your Map with your Compass • Field to Map • Map to Field • Triangulation • Aiming Off • The Polar Plot

  19. Field to Map

  20. Field to Map Continued

  21. Field to Map Continued

  22. Map to Field

  23. Map to Field Continued

  24. Triangulation

  25. Triangulation Continued

  26. Triangulation Continued

  27. Triangulation Continued

  28. Aiming Off

  29. Polar Plot

  30. Land Navigation Tasks for Ground Team Leaders • O-0204 Locate A Point On A Map Using Latitude And Longitude • O-0205 Locate A Point On A Map Using The CAP Grid System • O-0206 Locate A Point On A Map Using A Grid Coordinate Overlay • O-0207 Locate A Point On A Map Using A Polar Plot From A Terrain Feature

  31. Land Navigation Tasks for Ground Team Leaders • O-0208 Identify The Major Terrain Features On A Map • O-0209 Identify Topographic Symbols On A Map • O-0210 Determine Elevation On Map • O-0211 Measure Distance On A Map • O-0212 Convert Between Map And Compass Azimuths

  32. Land Navigation Tasks for Ground Team Leaders • O-0213 Determine And Plot An Azimuth On A Map • O-0214 Determine Azimuths On A Map Using Two Points • O-0215 Orient A Map To The Ground Using Terrain Association • O-0216 Orient A Map To North Using A Compass

  33. Land Navigation Tasks for Ground Team Leaders • O-0217 Locate Own Position On A Map Using Terrain Association • O-0218 Move To A Point Using Linear Offset • O-0219 Move From Point To Point In A Vehicle Using A Map
