Skip it if you…

Saves you a refund

Players seeking a forgiving introduction may find the navigation difficult and can become lost while learning.
Those wanting varied environments or modes now may find the current forest map and military-style play narrow.
Players looking for skiing, mountain terrain, or orienteering mode will not find those roadmap features in the current version.

Our take on LANDNAV

The page gives substantial space to mountain skiing, orienteering, and progression, but identifies these as future work. The current game is narrower: a forest map with military-style navigation, so those planned additions should not be mistaken for available modes.

What is LANDNAV?

LANDNAV simulates military-style land navigation in a forest.

Players use a map, compass, protractor, square, and pace-count beads to locate a series of objectives scattered across the terrain within a time limit. The game emphasizes reading land features and planning routes, alongside grid-coordinate plotting. Movement includes simulated fatigue, path choices, and angle deviation, and magnetic declination is represented. The current version includes a forest map and military-style navigation. Mountain terrain, skiing, orienteering gameplay, progression, and other changes are described as planned in a roadmap, rather than current features. The vendor presents the game for military personnel, orienteering enthusiasts, and players seeking a navigation-focused mental challenge.

How LANDNAV plays

01Timed Objectives: A session involves locating several points spread across the terrain before the allotted time expires.
02Navigation Instruments: The current military-style mode uses map plotting with grid coordinates and tools including a compass and pace-count beads.
03Simulated Movement: Travel incorporates fatigue, deviations in walking direction, and route choices shaped by terrain.
04Magnetic Declination: The simulation accounts for the difference between magnetic and map directions.
