Crevasses and cliffbands can be avoided direct navigation to hidden gullies or notches becomes possible old school “handrailing” becomes completely obsolete. downhill ski guiding) to full whiteout navigation (traverses across icefields). The end result is a route plan that will be much more useful than one created with an NTS map for anything from onsight navigation in complicated terrain (e.g. Google Earth (GE) is extremely accurate and allows for precise route planning that, like Ozi Explorer, is as easy as point and click but with the benefits of 3D View and many organisational tools. cons: no sense of the actually geography (land cover, micro terrain steepness), organisation is a challenge.pros: quick, visual, GUI, accurate – minimises user error.Ozi Explorer: Import NTS mapsheets (proprietary or free via GeoGratis) Click to create tracks Export tracks to GPS unit Map Datum, UTM conversion and entry)ĭigital, e.g. ![]()
