    Map Reading Cartoons and Comics - funny pictures from CartoonStockWe may also do this in Tāne Forest.
    You may know that when this is done competitively, it's called orienteering. 

    Things to learn:
    - always 'orientate' the map
    (turn it so the direction of objects on the map is the same as their direction from you on the ground).
    - work out what the map symbols represent (eg building, stream, fence, path, bridge, etc)
    - get used to the distances (objects on the map may be closer than you think!)
