Orienteering
Orienteering is a sport where the competitors use a very detailed map and a compass to find their way through pre-specified control points in the landscape.
This category emphasizes the sport of orienteering, not the act of navigating in the woods, so you will find related sites in the Recreation : Outdoors hierarchy.
