Introduction

Improvised Navigation is being able to find your way without a compass, GPS or other sophisticated navigational device. Improvised navigation techniques are based on methods used by mankind for centuries prior to the invention of the compass. Much of what was known about navigation in the days before compasses has been lost, I am sure. The Bushwalker's Guide to the Galaxy goes a little way to trying to recover some of that lost knowledge and skill.
