Navigation by SSI. The core.

You will learn how to use natural navigation skills and how to travel with a compass through the SSI Navigation Program. Additionally, you will learn how to make your way to various marking locations, estimate distances, navigate various search patterns, and return to the exit point whenever necessary.
