Orienteering is a group of sports that require
navigational skills using a map and compass to navigate from point to
point in diverse and usually unfamiliar terrain whilst moving at speed.
Participants are given a topographical map, usually a specially prepared
orienteering map, which they use to find control points.Originally a training exercise in land navigation for military officers, orienteering has developed many variations. Among these, the oldest and the most popular is foot orienteering.
