60 registered in less then one hour.... New registrations are still welcome. Final confirmed participants will be shortlisted based on the justification given in the form below. 

CTC is growing at an unprecedented pace (6450 members as of today, 10-30 new joining every day), we have an acute need for more good navigators to keep this volunteer based group moving forward. A sincere call to all interested members to start learning more about maps & navigation so we can keep exploring the unexplored beautiful natural locations that surround us.

For those who were unable to attend, the workshop has been uploaded @


Watch the 14 videos in 720HD on a good broadband connection. 

Although pretty good, I am not entirely happy with the quality as the downscaling of the recorded screen resolution (1024x768) to 720HD made the text and smaller details on screen less clear to read in the YouTube videos. The original AVI recordings are much better. If anyone can suggest a better way of uploading/sharing then let me know,

I uploaded the original hi-res video recordings on Google Docs. Click on the links below to download. These files can be played back with CamStudio. The quality of these AVI files is much better then the YouTube videos. Total size is around 1GB -
