The US Army Field Manual FM-3-25.26 is a US gov't document. That means it was created using tax dollars paid by US citizens. That means that this document is provided FREE--because it was already paid for and it is property of the US gov't.I just did an Internet search for the "US Army field manual of land nav" and was provide with this book (FM-3-25.26) in PDF format FREE. So if you have a printer, you shouldn't need to pay anyone for this book! This book was already bought for you with US tax dollars!
Just like the one from the Army. Great manual to teach anyone land navigation with a map and compass. Get the protractor and a Silva compass that has the ability to set declination, and you can be out in the woods in less than a day (if you apply yourself). Start out with easy to find terrain features, natural or man made, i.e. a tower, etc. Great book to teach Scouts, etc. Spent 22 years in the Army, and this is the foundation to learn and navigate in any terrain. Another good investment would be the Ranger pace count beads, look for my review on them.
Yes, it is simply the Army FM that you can download in PDF format for FREE and then print or read on a tablet/phone. I give it 5 stars because I like to have things in print. To download and print this would cost nearly the same amount. If you would then like to have your giant stack of paper too thick to staple together bound in some sort of book then it will end up costing more than this did.
I found the book to be thorough and detailed. The book is easy to understand. It has good examples. There are a few sections with military purposes that I will not need to know, but it is a great basic primer on maps, compass, and navigation. It does a good job covering UTM coordinate system.
This is a good book for explaining the use of a compass. However, it may not be the book you're looking for if you are wanting to learn orienteering on a UGSG Quad Map.I do recommend the book for map and compass enthusiasts.
This was a review for me as I was familiar with this's manual through my military experience which is why I selected it. It is written at a level all can understand and was used as a text by me in a map reading course I conducted. Give it a try.
If you want a good handle on map reading and land navigation there are other books that are better for the beginner, but if you take your time you can sort this book out.
Lots of unneeded info. However this is a FIELD MANUAL written by the US Army, so you should expect it to be over written. It will teach you how to read maps & a compass. This was a gift for a friend who hikes a lot in the Great Smoky Mtns. she loves the book.
