It’s important for people to learn about maps. The reason why boils down to two words: spatial awareness. Maps help people develop a sense of spatial awareness, a skill that is vital for finding your way in the wild, where the streets have no name. It improves your ability to visualize information, make connections, and think critically. And while we’re at it, why should you learn to use a compass? It is so important for people to understand how to navigate and orient themselves in unfamiliar terrain. In short, this type of skill/knowledge can be lifesaving. Knowing how to use and operate a compass gives a person a fighting chance to find their way out of a potentially dangerous situation. 

Rick Egan Davis has been training people to use maps and compasses in wild spaces for over a generation. He has provided training to individuals and outdoor organizations to prepare them to navigate wilderness areas without the assistance of satellites, cell towers, and battery-operated devices.
