Jakarta, Spami-id.com - no wonder lately many rookies have climbed a mountain often experience misdirection that leads to accidents.
The number of climber cases that require only physical, reckless readiness. As a result of having difficulties in the open. But to overcome that all it takes is navigational science. Land navigation is a science that studies the way a person determines a place and gives a shadow of the terrain, both surface conditions and the landscape of the Earth with minimal help of maps and compasses.
The opening team of Mount Lousurr Expedition Esari, Arinta Eka, said that land-important navigational reading skills were treated by individuals who spent a lot of time in the wild, such as nature lovers, members of search and rescue teams (search and rescue), research on biodiversity, to the army. Therefore, learning land navigation is important.
Arta then gives some tips on navigational control in order not to stray during climbing. First, he said it was important to master navigation devices like maps and compasses.
In navigating land the ability to read maps and use a mandatory compass to be conquered, "said Arinta.
Component that can be seen and studied on a map between other map titles, map numbers, map coordinates, contours, map scale and map legends. Meanwhile, for the compass, the climbers must understand the north, south, west, and east.
The north corner is the most important direction because it's the main reference shown through the red needle. In the compass house we have the scale of the number 0-360 and the letter N, S, W, E which is a clue to the north, south, west and east.
"What matters is how we can figure out how to take the right direction in the direction shown by the compass needle. Make sure no one contains iron near the compass because it can disrupt the movement of the compass needle," obviously he did.
In addition to maps and compasses, there are several other ground navigation devices that need to be known as roamers. This is one of the tools intended to help read the coordinates of a node that has been plotted on a map.
Then, there's a douglas protector, which is a box-shaped bow that determines the angle. What doesn't matter, especially for navigators, is to control the Global Positioning System, which is a satellite-based navigation system that consists of at least 24 satellites.
This GPS function is to determine the location on the surface of the Earth with the help of synchronizing satellite signals that send microwaves to Earth. GPS can be used to determine speed, direction, location, and also time.
