It is the most precise azimuth bearing approach, and I completely agree with it. I recently went orienteering in Virginia Parks with my local orienteering group. Normally, I stray from the planned course of my calculated azimuth quite a bit, but this time, I used the method below, which involves looking at my calculated degree course of direction and selecting a nearby tree that I simply walked to. I kept doing this again and over again. Every time I got to the tree I was walking to, I shot my azimuth to another tree nearby, and to my amazement, I went directly to my destination. It was incredible, I thought. Thus, it does require practice. During this year's unit school tryout, I also scored four out of four points properly. However, because the map is so small, I mainly depended on the stream (the map is colorful, and the stream is blue). By chance, two of my points were close to the stream. Plotting the point on the map is easy but walking to it in the wood requires practice.
