This book has been around for longer than I have, and I am “ no spring chicken, ” as they say, having just crossed that notorious half - century mark. First published in 1955, Be Expert with Map & Compass has become an institution as a guide for generations of people seek- ing important basic navigational skills. Over 500,000 copies have been sold in English - language editions, and it has been published in French, Italian, and Chinese. v flast.indd v 10/22/09 11:40:07 AM I am always pleased when I meet people from all walks of life who are familiar with, and indeed fond of, this book. From for- mer Boy Scouts to Marines to avid deer hunters to 4 - H leaders to search- and - rescue dog teams, I have been impressed by the number of people who become animated when the book is brought up. For many, it rekindles memories of the great outdoor opportunities it led them to; for others, it seems to remind them of younger, simpler days spent fi dgeting with the dials and trying to master the mystery of magnetism. Many things are different from when my late father, Bj ö rn Kjellströ m, last updated this book in 1994, with the help of one of my dear brothers, Tord. International and national - level orienteering has continued to develop into a highly technical sport, utilizing the most modern techniques and materials. Global Positioning Systems, known as GPS, were certainly not a readily available consumer item just a few years ago. This book, however, is still the ideal for anyone who wants to learn the basics of compass navigation, as it helps you get comfortable with map and compass skills and gets you ready to participate in or organize a local orienteering event. It was “ Green Bar Bill, ” Bill Hillcourt, a hero in American scout- ing circles, who initially encouraged my father to write this guide. My father had been a Championship Orienteer, on foot and on skis, in his native Sweden, though his passion was admittedly for nature and the compass, not for trophies and medals. An entrepreneur from the start, he registered the company that was to become known the world over as Silva at the ripe age of nineteen. A few years later, in 1933, he and his brother, Alvar, joined forces with another young orienteer named Gunnar Tillander. Together they made history by producing and marketing the fi rst protractor - compass, the concept of which still defi nes the modern orienteering compass today. Silva compasses became the standard, selling over 500,000 a year in the United States alone. In 1946, my father took his fi rst business trip to the United States, dur- ing which he helped Scout leaders organize the fi rst orienteering event in the United States, at Indiana Dunes State Park, near Lake Michigan. He is credited with introducing the sport of orienteering to North America, and even with coining the English word “ orienteering.
