Multiple segments with predetermined azimuths and distances Remember conversion from map azimuth to compass azimuth. Determine segment distances from map. Update the current position on map after each segment and compare expected map features of area to actual terrain features encountered. Navigation with map and compass at night. If on known trail, use azimuth of travel and trail landmarks for current location.
Navigator remains at last known position while trackers continue ahead.
While trackers are still in sight, navigator takes azimuth to trackers, then paces off distance. Azimuth, pace, and updated position information are recorded in log for later review if error is found. Continuously update the current position on map and compare expected map features of area to actual terrain features encountered. Night navigation with a dog team. Person accompanying dog handler marks their course with trail tape.
