Direct reckoning on azimuth, pace count, and terrain analysis when you get close.

Or, the fast way. Bust brush to the nearest findable major terrain feature, like an intersection, or a hill, then vector in to your point from there.

Confident compass skills are fog-proof.

Rain proof too- i.e. Panama:D

Roger. Detailed map study, identify attack points, learn how to use linear terrain features.

Dead reckoning works for those less confident with terrain association.

Are you patrolling or doing a nav course? It matters.
