just to add the best way to understand and process how topo maps work is thru being out there and gaining experience. so take your map and compass your gps and plb and go for a hike , if you cant get out for a hunt go for a walk in one of the auckland ranges (hunua or waitaks whatever). i dont believe bush skill/sense and orienteering can be fully understood and learned thru reading or surfing the web.
just my opinion
