What is a Map?

A map is a graphic representation of the natural and man-made characteristics of an area. In all maps the actual ares is made smaller and must be compares to known distances.


 Purpose of a map:

1. Planning patrol routes
2. Maintaining direction or determine direction in a unknown place.
3.Saving information i.e where fires occurred or where dead animals were found.

How to use a Map:

A map is used to determine current position, or to determine, or to determine and distance from your current position to the next position.

Find your current position:- now that the map is orientated you can look at the terrain features and work out where you are. Ensure that you can find at least three points of reference, otherwise you can plot yourself wrong.

Finding the position of your next destination: Connect your current position with your next destination by means of a straight line.
