| CREST members from across NSW attended a training day held in conjunction with a State Council meeting in Northern Sydney. The training session focussed on mapping and navigation and forms an important component of the CREST Level 1 training qualification. A presentation covered different map types, the features of a topographic map, coordinate systems, measuring distances and bearings. The teams used mapping tools, different types of compasses and GPS receivers. A desktop exercise was held where various coordinates were identified and measurements were made. A quick demonstration of radio repeater site planning was covered. The day concluded with a outdoor navigation activity. |
