    Good on Ya VC and Pengy

    If you can fix your position and give the grid ref then you'll be fine with Lat / long after you get your head around it.

    BTW.
    I got 5 days CB Parade for knowing how to read a map and compass and fix my position too well during Basic.

    Cheers

    I got 5 days CB Parade for having a dirty bed space. The buggers pulled my possum and rabbit skins off the wall while I was on parade. And messed up my sleeping quarters Every one in our platoon got CB parade on basic training

    Learn how to read a Topo Map and compass and learn to fix your position on said map with said compass.

    And FFS put said map ad compass in your day pack.

    I can give you a run down down next time we catch up but the military types on here will blow me out of the water. For shits and giggles I'd take @Pengy up if theres Waikato involved!
