A Land Navigation Evaluation has been set up for the morning of October 18th at 0900 in the Kingman area. The map will be named "10/18 Land Nav" and made available the day prior in the team account. 

The Land Navigation Evaluation requires the use of triangulation on a paper map, and then locating 3 clues and properly marking them in SARTopo. Triangulation error will be the size of a pencil eraser head (0.300 inches) and all documentation in SARTopo must meet Agency standards (includes recording track, marking clues, and attaching photos of the clues).

For those not ready to complete the evaluation, training on triangulation will be available at 10am at the same location.
