This trainer is an update to our previous Fort Lewis VBS2 Land Navigation Trainer v1.0. It has many new features, especially with the Instructor Station.
- New custom map for the student station
- completely rebuilt protractor which is much easier to read
- The instructor station student table can be sorted by Student #, Student Name, Points Identified, Points Correct/Score, and Time Stationary
- Time Stationary will turn red when the student has been stationary for 5 minutes
- The Points Correct/Score will change color to reflect the progress of the student
Distance to Nearest Point will change to Green if student is getting closer, red if further away
- Page Up and Page Down is implemented to allow more than 27 students to be seen in the table
- There is now a notification window showing a display of significant student actions as they occur (teleport to checkpoint, correctly identifiy a point, incorrectly identify a point, drop a reflective belt)
- End scenario now exports student scores and notification timeline to an excel document
- Zoom and Pan has been implemented for the instructor station map

It replicates the Fort Lewis Training Area 13 Land Navigation Course in VBS2.

This is available for US Military use at:

This trainer is designed to fill the gap between classroom instruction and an actual land navigation course.
The Trainer focuses on:
* Correct plotting of points
* Establishing a plan for completing the course (attack points)
* Calculation of distance and direction
* Correct use of pace count and pace beads
