Ok, now if we are asked "What UTM sector is the gang in?" Would it be somthing like 12D or just 12?

[eyeball138]

It seems to me that 12D isn't part of the grid, because it doesn't stretch below 80 degrees S. I have no idea what they'd ask because, as we know, this is a new addition to the rules. At states, I'll probably just bring a couple pages of info, and hope that that covers whatever question is asked.

Sounds good to me. Ok thats about all my questions, now I just need to practice.

Ok guys i finally got a copy of a good topo maps instructional program it has all the basics of maps and also all the skills in the coaches manual

Direct dowload it is around 27 MB

Here is where you can download it at you own time


Hope you enjoy it

Ok i was not very clear and am sorry

First decide if you want to download it now or later if you want to download it later click the second link

Now since you probobaly want to download in now right click on the First link and a dialog with a few options will come up click on the save link and it should start downloading

After it is downloaded Un compress it for vista it requires opening the file and allog the top there is a button that says extract all files for XP it should either auto extract when you click it or you right click extract (please correct me if i am wrong)

After you extract it go to the un compressed file open it and look for topo 32 and click it it is a .exe file so it will auto start

If topo 32 does not work there is also a file called topo 16 you can try that if topo32 does not work

If you have problem post and I or someone else will attemp to help or even Better join Chat and you can get help faster

Last year, I took the coacher book with me and I have no clue if im allowed to take it this year. I also took all of the topographical symbols with me. They didn't say anything last year.

[eyeball138]

Like last year, you're allowed to take anything into the event that you want, including the coach's handbook and the topographic map symbols sheet.
