I’d like to share a simple method I’ve devised to map unfamiliar areas outdoors. Suppose you’d like create a GPX track of a park under the following constraints:

• GPS data is inherently inaccurate, so you’d like to walk each path exactly twice to improve accuracy.
• You’d like to finish an the exact point you started.
• You’re in the field, so you want to keep things simple and not use something too complicated.
