What is LANDNAV?

LANDNAV is a challenging land navigation simulation game designed to replicate the experience of military and orienteering style events. Using a map and compass, you'll traverse diverse and unfamiliar terrain, seeking out a series of objectives scattered across remote natural landscapes. Your goal is to find them all within a limited time, testing your skills in map reading, compass navigation, and route planning.

Don't be fooled – it's not as easy as it sounds! Beginners will likely find themselves disoriented and tested, but with persistent practice, you'll learn to master your location and transform the challenge into an exhilarating pursuit. LANDNAV becomes truly addictive when you develop the skills to focus on speed and efficiency, channeling your inner Jason Bourne as you interpret the landscape and make rapid-fire decisions.

A land navigation event in LANDNAV is an intense mental workout, pushing your ability to make effective time management and risk assessment decisions under pressure.
