Navigation using a map and compass is a dying art, due to most people relying on technology such as GPS, smartwatches, mobile phones etc. When your technology fails you need to know how to navigate using the basics.

One of the key things to master is how to confirm your location. I do this using a technique taught in the army, using the Mnemonic DDCRAPS;

Direction
Distance
Conventional Signs
Relief
Alignment
Proximity
Shape
