Karte Kompass GPS - Outdoor Basixx Language: German

<p>&nbsp;Many hiking areas today are hopelessly overcrowded because few trekkers venture into pathless terrain. At the same time, the number of lost hikers is steadily increasing. Even experienced hunters and anglers often do not know how to use a compass, map and GPS correctly. In this outdoor handbook, Reinhard Kummer teaches hikers as well as canoeists, car drivers, cyclists and motorcyclists the basics of these three navigation tools.</p><p>First, the basics and terms of cartography and the structure of topographic maps are explained. Then methods of using map, compass and GPS are presented. Some exercises (with solutions) are printed for practice. Useful addresses of geographic bookshops and compass and GPS manufacturers as well as literature tips round off this book.</p><p>Reinhard Kummer, born in 1959, lives and works in Kiel. Through his studies of geography, many years of working in a Globetrotter equipment shop and as co-owner of a geographical bookshop, he was able to gather extensive knowledge about maps, compasses and GPS. This knowledge was deepened in practice through numerous hiking, canoeing and sailing trips.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Language: German</span></p>
