Awesome! Thanks for stopping by. I will have some more navigation video in the future as well. I have several more things I would like to try to get out there.
This information is interesting. I have always been confused about topo maps.
My dad, an engineer and Veteran of WII who had to use this information in France, Germany and other places there just to know where they were - behind enemy lines or not, tried to explain these lines and elevations to me unsuccessfully. As a visual person, I needed pictures to correlate lines on the maps. You have used lines , pictures and explanations and put these puzzle pieces together for me - THANKS!
You bet!
Excellent video thank you. I'm trying to brush up my navigation skills to help me in the Scottish mountains this winter and your video has been very helpful. Thank you!
Fantastic explanation, simplicity at its best. As an educator I can appreciate the fact that formal education is not enough, especially when it comes to survival; you have to have that practical hands on experience. As a novice metal detector, I got lost in a canyon last year by losing my bearings and then my composure. It was terrifying! All common sense went out the window as the fear rushed up the back of my neck. Instant fever rush! Next thing I knew I was running full out... I really lost my cool. My daughter bought me a Garmin tracker and Marine strobe light as a precaution. Thanks for the great video, pardon my story, just wanted to share.
This was so helpful! You were right halfway through the video I started to notice the landscape of my map, like a 3D picture. Great video
Thanks Sylvia!
I really enjoyed the simplicity of this video JJ. Even though you used existing images you were still able to explain the finer details in a language we could understand. I got a lot out of that. Thanks mate.
This, right here. I’ve struggled to REALLY understand reading topo maps for the past 20 years. Within 12 minutes-u just helped me understand so much more than before.
Just started my GSAR training. You did a great job of describing the features of a topo map. This was very helpful. I will definitely share it with other members of he team. Thanks
it got me an a+ on my test thank you so much!!
+Jenn Moore You are welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Thanks! Heading out to Reflection Canyon in Utah and in case my GPS dies, I'll be able to navigate through your refresher course here. Actually, I'll of course be bringing a map, so I'm looking forward to stopping every once in awhile, taking out the map to study it and compare it with my surrounding terrain. I'm really looking forward to that. Thanks again.
+Christopher James Awesome! Have fun and be safe!
Very helpful. I am taking a basic course in Navigation and was very confused with ridges vs. drains in the way that was written in the book. This video makes it super simple.
By the way, you also have a patient calming voice for those of us who feel overwhelmed when confused :D. Thank you.
it makes sense in WW1 pilots were the main scouts and navigators, so their point-of-view would be from a top-down view, with the pilots being a at a higher elevation then the natural land features around them. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! You've made this very easy to learn and to understand. Thanks again for the lesson.
I watched this video with my kids today and then we made our own contour maps of clay mountains. It was excellent. Thank you so much - I will be sharing it on my blog in a few months. - Highhill Education
Great job. Didn't even know half of this before I saw the video. Keep up the good work with these tutorials.
Thanks. I am hoping to do a whole series on navigation this summer.
+Reality Survival I'll make sure to watch it
I really like how simple you explain the contour concepts. Will use this video for my daughter in her 6th grade homeschool geography map reading class. She likes audio visuals were as son would prefer to read everything. Thanks for posting
That's great. Thanks. I hope it helps her too!
Excellent explanation and visual verification. Thank you very much.
You bet!
awesome job looking at the map of Kauai it makes more sense to me know thank you very much
Great! That is what I Was aiming for! Glad you enjoyed it!
I like how many examples you gave. Found this very helpful. Thanks
Hi,
Just wanted to say thank you, learning to read a map was challenging for me. I have learned a lot by just one comment you made about "old 3D pictures" that really spoke to my old ass!
James
Lol. Cool! Glad it was helpful!
This video seriously saved my grade in environmental geology !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH :)
Thank you
You bet!
Thank you for uploading this! I understand it much better now
Awesome! That was the goal! Thanks!
Really helpful video. Now I can obtain a higher pass mark in my CSEC exams.
Thank you!!
Im so greatful Sir, really helpful for my structural geology class. I cant stop reminding myself with this tips I long ago did during my undergraduate.
+ajuaba stephen very cool! Glad it was helpful!
I am a retired Cartographer from usgs and would like to add to your great presentation. First, the United States Geological Survey has many on line and pamphlets or books available for a more updated explanation. There are also shaded relief maps with contours drawn to help visualize relief much easier for some areas (cont)
Really enjoyed the video. I will be teaching this stuff to scouts very soon and have been agonizing over how to do it. As it will be for practical use, I wanted it simple and sweet for the young scouts. I want them to walk away with the simple ability to look at the map and say what is up ahead, behind and side to side for trekking. Technicalities can come later. I think I'll use this video, if nothing, but for the first picture you used with the guys head through the map.
Very cool! I am glad it was useful! I am planning to do some more vids on navigation as soon as I get caught up! Cheers JJ
Thanks for making this video. Finally understand topographic maps because of you. Thanks a lot.
+awsomecp173 Awesome!
Mount Joy PA!! I live in Hershey and am very familiar with 283. Just hiked the AT along Peters's mnt ridge yesterday using a Tom Thwaites book
+FeeltheRhythm08 very cool!
GREAT VIDEO WITH WONDERFUL GRAPHICS. you know, those of us who have lived with map reading/land nav forget how alien it is for some folks.
Thanks bubba. That an oldie!
thank you for uploading this video!
i can understand you so much better than my teacher..
And i have my geog GCSE map work skills exam today !!
so helpful!
Binti Arumainayagam exam on this wow I am surprised
Thank you! Very good refresher of how these work (It has been a while since I was in college geology class)
Awesome! I have more planned! Just need time to record them!
Got a geography test tomorrow this really helped, thank you.
+Noobjar Bluerat you are welcome!
Thx i needed this for my geography test you are the man!
Awesome!
Very helpful! thank you! will share!
all i could not learn in 12 classes i learnt in 12 mins. Awesome video. Thanks so much 😊
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
You really did a great job. What I really like was the diagram with the flat circles and then the 3d view. Also the two photos of the little hill. Seeing the hill and then seeing the contour lines represent that hill made some kind of click moment for me. Nicely done. Now I have 12 minutes to go.
In your video, I actually took some screenshots to put with my learning stuff. So when looking at a map I can use it to refresh my memory on what everything means. Your video really was worth my time. Thank you again.
You bet! Glad it is helpful!
You bet James, I have several more planned. I will probably upload them this winter. Cheers JJ
Excellent and informative video, thank you for taking the time to do this - you are a great communicator.
Thanks
Thanks! Glad it was useful!
Great job. I hope that you do more videos, because I am learning from them.
Thanks for the vid I have land nav in the morning and I'm in the reserves so I have to brush up on a lot of stuff, and what's funny is my sgt used the same map that had the numbers for the different terrains as a test today I thought it was very neat, thanks again your very helpful.
+David Lewis Awesome! Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, definitely helped put it all into a perspective I then understood. I have a land / nav class coming up.
+Belinda Cummins Sweet!
I have an assignment due in a days time and this really helped me. Thanksss
You bet! Glad it helped!
Thank you. It helped me a lot in identifying the features of my land development design. cheers.
+Arlene Inay Awesome!
Thank you, this is just what I needed.
Awesome! Glad it was helpful!
Reading a map . . . ANY map, is becoming a lost art. Nice job!
+InYourDefense thanks!
This was great. I've always wondered how maps like that are read. Very well explained.
Awesome thanks!
Didn't learn anything new, but great video for beginners or for touching up. Very well explained. As someone else pointed out already, explaining grid systems would be a great addition for novices. Also basic compass navigation and magnetic declination could be helpful.
+raphael beinhauer sounds good. Thanks for watching!
Very useful. Thanks for sharing.
You bet! Glad it was useful!
One of the best videos for contour lines. Great job! I would say at 9:22 just get rid of some the same numbers on the map so its easier to follow the map. Keep making these videos you know how to teach!
+rjravaz Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it!
Thanks alot, points me in the right direction atleast on how to figure them out.
Awesome! Glad it was helpful!
Very good, thank you. Just got a topo map for a garmin. On the desktop it's all cool 3D but out in the field on the garmin it's flat 2D, so you've explained a lot.
+Barry Keaveney glad it helped!
Thank you so much! This is a tremendous help for Geology Lab Exam tomorrow morn :-)
This has very descriptive way of explaining it. Well thought out video and makes since as well.
Thanks Bryce! I appreciate it!

Reality Survival, Just wanted to say thank you for this video, I am a former USMC, 03 and I was asked last sec to do a Topo How too for a kids venturing course. As you have said to Quad below a More advanced Vid, However for this it is perfect. Thank you again. You had the Saddle, if you do, do another basic would it be possible to add in Finger's and Draw ? again 100 plus you can do but of all the one's I looked at tonight this was by far the Best down and dirty Learn or go home with an Ice pack on your head cause your a fool video... Great Job and thank you. Semper Fi.

Nicely done comprehensive layout of this topic, I'm doing a follow-up on my channel to a series that will cover some of the contour intervals, but not as in-depth as your video, great job!

Great Video, good overview of the basics with examples. Thank you! :)
You bet.
Wonderful!
Thanks!
Thank you so much. you made my life easier.
Desert or swamp type areas will have much smaller indexes, maybe 10 index and 2 foot intermediates. Those maps will more than likely have supplementary contours. The contours are compiled on stereo vision 3d plotters, I made many of them.
Nice, JJ. Thank you.
+John L Bales you are welcome!
Good job you are great teacher instructors enjoyed
