Which of the following doesn't apply to Land Navigation?

True North
Grid North
Compass North
Magnetic North

The correct answer is: Compass North

The concept of Land Navigation involves understanding different types of north, which are crucial for accurate navigation and map reading. True North refers to the geographic North Pole and is the basis for many navigation systems. Grid North is associated with the grid lines on a map, used when employing maps for navigation. Magnetic North is where the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downwards, which is significant in compass usage. Compass North does not traditionally apply in land navigation as it is not a standard term recognized in navigation principles. While a compass points toward Magnetic North, the terminology "Compass North" is not commonly used or defined in mapping and navigation contexts. Instead, navigators typically refer to Magnetic North, making the distinction important for understanding its application in land navigation.
