    I learned more about topo maps in this 15 minute video than I ever knew before. Thank you for making confusion look so simple. God Bless you.

    I like how this guy has a clear voice that is also broad, he also understands it himself so others can understand too, I have never ever enjoyed a science video until now.

    Very informative and interesting lesson! If one is a "peakbagger" and wants to hit a random summit, there may be a peak with an elevation between 6,440'-6,480.' The peak, if the precise elevation is not known, would be labeled Peak 6,440'+. It will not show a label "Peak 6440'+" on the map, but it will be understood. The plus sign means that it falls between the contours of 6,440' and 6,480', so possibly 6,441' and 6,479'. I have found many fun cross-country peak hikes using topo maps!

    @wmluna381 ปีที่แล้ว

    Teaching myself navigation / orienteering and this is one of the first videos I should have watched.
    At this point I think one needs to learn map and topo basics *1st* before diving deep into compass use. Otherwise you end up needing to reverse engineer what is being shown in compass use videos more often than not.
    I found that learning what the colors mean on a topo map further rounds out the knowledge base in this subject for IRL nav.

    ✨ℕ𝕠𝕥𝕖𝕤✨
    - Topographic maps show elevation + shape with contour line.
    - Contour intervals are the difference in lines.
    - Index contour lines are used to keep the map simple.
    - Compasses point north, it wont always be up.
    - Closer lines = steep slope.
    - Further line = gentle slope.
    - Lines bend to form a “V” = stream/river/creek.
    - V points toward water source.
    - Rings getting smaller represent hills/mountains.
    - Hill/mountain peaks are just below the value of the next contour line.
    - Land depression areas (volcanic craters, meteor craters) are represented by hachure/hatch marks.
    - First hatchured line = previous contour line.
    - Lowest elevation is just above next contour line.
