>>1462476Navigation depends on the terrain you're in and what maps (if any) you have. It's pretty simple though.
Easiest is if your maps have the trails on it and the trails are marked. In that case, navigate as you would on the road.
If the trails are unmarked, first find the direction you need to go in - in other words, the angle between the line connecting your goal and current position and the vertical axis.
In rather flat land with few trees, you basically pick a significant spot (tree, church tower, mountain peak etc) that is as far away as possible and roughly in the direction you want to go, then walk towards it.
In lower mountains, you walk in the general direction you want to go in while avoiding harder terrain.
While I have no experience with higher mountains, from what I've heard and read, you basically try to stay as far down in the valley as possible and only go up if there's no way around it.
In the forest, you follow trails that go roughly the direction you want to go until you're out, then check your position and go the rest of the way as above.
>how to get homeSimple. find the closest stream or creek and follow it downstream. Most older settlements were formed along natural sources of water, and sooner or later, you'll come across one. Then follow the roads. While this isn't the most effective or most outistic method, it is the only one I'm aware of that can't fail because of technical problems (stuck compass, flawed maps, no gps signal) or bad weather (clouded sky).
