Authors
List who wrote this lesson plan.
Scope
What is included in this lesson, what's not and why.
- SAR Fundamentals Manual: Ch.13 "Navigation"
- Basic SAR Skills Manual: Ch.7 "Navigation"
Objectives
At the conclusion of this lesson Students will
- know how to read their current location on a specific model of GPS
- choose how long to wait for their current GPS location to settle
- build a visual/spacial sense of how the UTM grid overlays real land
- choose appropriate direction to walk to achieve intended changes to their current UTM
Advanced students will
- know how to enter waypoints into their GPS
- know how to get distance and bearing from their GPS
- for GPS's without magnetic sensors, get a sense of how far they need to travel for the GPS to know their current heading
