This
Learner’s
Guide
is
about
the
skills
and
knowledge
required
to
plan
and
navigate
routes
as
part
of
transport
operations,
including
interpreting
information
from
a
road
map
or
street
directory,
planning
the
most
appropriate
route
taking
into
account
pertinent
factors,
and
completing
required
trip
documentation
in
accordance
with
operational
requirements.
The
unit
of
competency
TLIH207D
Plan
and
navigate
routes
is
from
the
Transport
and
Logistics
Training
Package
(TLI07).
It
has
a
number
of
elements
of
competency
that
are
covered
in
this
guide.
These
are:
• Interpret
street
maps.
• Plan
routes.
• Follow
planned
routes.
It
is
important
to
plan
your
learning
before
you
start
because
you
may
already
have
some
of
the
knowledge
and
skills
that
are
covered
in
this
Learner’s
Guide.
This
might
be
because:
• you
have
been
working
in
the
industry
for
some
time,
and/or
• you
have
already
completed
training
in
this
area.
Together
with
your
supervisor
or
trainer,
use
the
checklist
on
the
following
pages
to
help
you
plan
your
study
program.
Your
answers
to
the
questions
in
the
checklist
will
help
you
work
out
which
sections
of
this
Learner’s
Guide
you
need
to
complete.
This
Learner’s
Guide
is
written
with
the
idea
that
learning
is
made
more
relevant
when
you,
the
learner,
are
actually
working
in
the
industry.
This
means
that
you
will
have
people
within
your
enterprise
who
can
show
you
things,
discuss
how
things
are
done
and
answer
any
questions
you
have.
Also
you
can
practise
what
you
learn
and
see
how
what
you
learn
is
applied
in
the
enterprise.
If
you
are
working
through
this
Learner’s
Guide
and
have
not
yet
found
a
job
in
the
industry,
you
will
need
to
talk
to
your
trainer
about
doing
work
experience
or
working
and
learning
in
some
sort
of
simulated
workplace.
Assessment
of
this
unit
of
competency
will
include
observation
of
real
or
simulated
work
processes
using
workplace
procedures
and
questioning
on
underpinning
knowledge
and
skills.
It
must
be
demonstrated
in
an
actual
or
simulated
work
situation
under
supervision.
Section 1 Interpret
street maps
Section outline
Areas
covered
in
this
section
are:
• recognising
and
interpreting
the
symbols
in
a
street
directory
and
road
map
• locating
places
in
the
directory
index
and
identifying
them
on
a
map.
What is a map?
The
oldest
known
map
is
thought
to
be
from
the
Stone
Age
dating
back
to
12,000B.C.
Engraved
on
a
mammoth’s
tusk
it
is
believed
to
show
a
line
of
dwellings
beside
a
river.
Maybe
it
could
be
the
world’s
oldest
street
map.
One
thing
is
for
certain
the
person
responsible
all
those
years
ago
could
never
have
imagined
how
reliant
we
would
become
on
maps.
A
map
is
a
representation
of
the
earth's
surface
using
symbols
and
lines.
Maps
have
become
more
complex
over
the
years
becoming
an
increasingly
greater
part
of
our
lives.
Maps
show
you
things
you
cannot
see.
You
can
see
across
the
road
or
down
the
street
but
you
cannot
see
up
the
main
street
of
the
next
town.
A
map
gives
you
that
ability.
By
looking
at
what
is
represented
on
a
map
we
can
translate
and
understand
what
we
can
not
see
with
our
own
eyes
over
great
distances.
Maps
allow
us
keep
to
track
of
our
location
in
an
area
we
are
unfamiliar
with.
Understanding
how
to
read
and
interpret
a
map
makes
the
job
of
travelling
much
easier.
Symbols
A
symbol
is
a
thing
that
represents
something
else
by
association
or
resemblance.
You
may
be
familiar
with
the
use
of
some
common
symbols
in
everyday
life,
some
examples
are
below:
Symbol
for
diner
or
restaurant
Symbol
for
restrooms
Symbol
for
information
Figure
1:
Example
of
common
symbols
Symbols
are
a
vital
part
of
a
map,
without
them
a
map
would
not
be
the
world
of
information
it
is.
Maps
use
symbols
to
represent
features
such
as
buildings,
railroads,
train
stations,
airports,
the
quality
and
type
of
road
and
points
of
interest
like
cemeteries,
parks
and
lakes.
The
design
of
each
symbol
is
carefully
thought
out
to
allow
for
easy
recognition
by
the
map’s
user.
Below
are
some
symbols
you
may
be
familiar
with.
Connect
a
line
from
the
symbol
to
its
meaning.

Guide.
Make
sure
to
read
the
legend
so
you
will
understand
the
meanings
given
to
the
symbols.

The
Scale
Because
a
map
is
only
a
representation
of
the
real
world,
it
is
obviously
at
a
reduced
size.
The
map’s
scale
is
the
measurement
you
can
use
to
convert
distance
on
the
map
to
the
distance
on
the
ground
or
vice
versa.
The
ability
to
determine
distance
on
a
map
is
important
when
measuring
how
far
you
have
to
travel.
A
scale
can
vary
in
the
distance
it
represents.
Generally
it
will
appear
on
a
map
similar
to
the
example
below.
Figure
3:
Example
of
a
scale
Street
directories
need
to
show
a
lot
of
detail
and
have
a
larger
scale.
A
road
map
will
only
need
to
show
major
features
and
has
a
much
smaller
scale.
Directory
Index
Some
road
maps
and
most
street
directories
have
an
index
to
save
time
when
trying
to
locate
a
feature
on
the
map.
This
is
called
a
directory
index.
It
lists
many
things
that
the
user
will
want
to
know
like
street
and
road
names,
hospitals,
rest
areas,
parks
and
so
on.
The
index
is
usually
divided
into
different
sections
such
as:
• street
names
• places
of
interest
• public
buildings
• hospitals.
Next
to
an
item
listed
in
a
directory
index
there
will
be
a
letter
followed
by
a
number
that
will
look
like
G4,
F7,
A12
and
so
on.
These
are
called
the
coordinates.
The
directory
index
is
used
in
combination
with
the
coordinates
of
a
map
to
locate
the
street
or
feature
on
a
map.
The
Coordinates
The
coordinates
are
shown
on
a
map
with
a
grid
of
vertical
and
horizontal
lines
running
across
the
face.
Letters
will
run
down
one
edge
of
the
map
and
numbers
along
another
edge
(top
and
sides)
relating
to
the
grid.
To
find
the
coordinate
‘G4’,
you
simply
find
‘G’
along
one
edge
of
the
map,
and
‘4’
along
the
other
edge
of
the
map.
Follow
the
grid
lines
until
they
come
together
and
there
will
be
the
coordinates
G4.
Map 44
Coordinates
Figure
4:
Example
of
coordinates
on
a
map
To
use
the
directory
index
and
the
coordinates
together
you
need
to
follow
these
steps.
1. Turn
to
the
directory.
It
should
be
in
the
front
or
back
of
your
street
directory
or
located
on
the
back
or
bottom
of
your
road
map.
2. Locate
the
heading
that
the
place
you
want
to
locate
will
be
under.
For
example
if
it
is
a
street
look
under
the
part
that
has
the
street
name
listings.
3. Look at the first letter of the name – Cyprus St.
4. Use the alphabetical order to turn to the C section of the index.
5. Look at the second letter of the name – Cyprus St.
6. Find
Cyprus
St
in
the
suburb
you
are
after.
–
Cyprus
St,
Fitzroy
or
Cyprus
St,
Glenvale
and
so
on.
7. Look at the map number – 44 and the coordinates – C3.
8. You
now
have
the
information
you
need
to
find
the
place
you
are
after.
The
following
activity
will
show
you
how
to
locate
a
street
in
a
street
directory
or
road
map.
Using
the
partial
directory
index
from
the
map
below
locate
Sudan
St.
Take
note
of
the
map
number
and
coordinates.
Using the coordinates locate Sudan St on the map below and circle it.
Now
using
the
map
legend
locate
the
Police
station
on
the
corner
of
Cyprus
and
China
St
and
record
the
coordinates.

Section outline
Using
the
methods
you
have
learnt
from
Section
1,
you
now
have
the
ability
to
begin
planning
a
route
from
location
to
destination.
When
planning
a
route,
first
you
should
find
your
current
location
on
a
map.
To
do
this
you
can
use
the
directory
index.
Look
up
the
street
name
or
a
landmark
you’re
next
to
and
find
the
coordinates
of
its
location
on
the
map.
You
should
then
find
the
coordinates
of
the
destination
and
locate
it
on
the
map.
Once
you’ve
found
the
coordinates
of
your
location
and
destination,
it’s
time
to
plan
how
to
get
from
one
to
the
other.
If
you
utilize
the
legend
you
can
make
note
of
any
obstacles
that
may
slow
you
down
or
be
of
hazard.
For
instance
it
may
be
quicker
to
take
an
alternative
route
to
avoid
a
well
known
busy
road,
or
there
may
be
height
restrictions
on
an
overpass
that
you
need
to
avoid.
There
may
also
be
legal
restrictions
that
need
to
be
taken
into
account
depending
on
the
type
of
transport
operation
you
are
undertaking.
It
is
essential
you
understand
any
special
requirements
that
will
affect
the
planning
of
a
route.
For
example
if
you
are
carrying
a
wide
load
or
any
dangerous
goods
you
must
know
and
obey
the
laws
that
set
out
how
to
transport
them
safely.
It
may
not
always
be
the
quickest
or
most
convenient
route
that
you
will
have
to
take.
It
is
important
you
also
select
a
route
that
is
efficient,
safe,
secure
and
legal.
There
will
be
factors
that
need
to
be
addressed
depending
on
the
type
of
transport
operation
you
are
undertaking.
Obviously
a
taxi
driver
will
have
a
different
agenda
to
a
scenic
tour
bus
driver
and
should
plan
the
trip
accordingly.
A
taxi
driver
will
want
the
quickest
if
not
the
shortest
route,
whilst
a
tour
bus
driver
will
need
to
work
to
a
pre-‐planned
itinerary
of
particular
stops.
As
well
as
planning
the
most
beneficial
route
you
should
plan
an
alternative
route
known
as
a
‘contingency
plan’
because
there
is
always
the
possibility
of
encountering
something
unexpected.
For
example
there
may
be
a
detour
due
to
road
works,
heavy
traffic
congestion,
a
tree
across
the
road
or
heavy
flooding.
Take
this
into
account
when
planning
your
trip
and
spend
time
to
research
and
plan
alternative
routes
so
you
have
a
contingency
plan
just
in
case
your
preferred
route
becomes
unacceptable.
You
need
to
plan
ahead
to
take
into
account
any
relevant
criteria
that
will
affect
your
journey.
For
example
you
may
wish
to
avoid
traffic
lights
or
residential
areas,
or
you
may
decide
not
to
take
the
back
roads
which
are
the
most
direct
way
because
of
their
bad
conditions
and
the
nature
of
the
load.
If
you
are
on
a
long
haul
drive
you
will
have
to
take
into
account
the
time
you
will
be
on
the
road
and
the
rest
area
locations
so
you
can
have
a
rest.
There
are
many
factors
that
need
to
be
assessed
depending
on
the
type
of
transport
operation
you
are
undertaking.
Example
of
the
advantages
of
planning
a
trip:
Tracy
and
Sam
both
work
for
the
XZY
courier
service.
They
have
to
travel
from
A
to
B.
Sam
has
chosen
to
take
the
most
direct
route,
not
planning
his
trip
at
all.
He
leaves
at
3pm.
On
the
way
he
finds
he
has
to
go
through
12
sets
of
traffic
lights
that
slow
him
down
and
he
arrives
at
3.30pm.
Tracy
on
the
other
hand
leaves
five
minutes
later
because
she
takes
the
time
to
plan
her
route.
She
decides
to
take
a
detour
from
the
most
direct
path
so
she
can
take
the
freeway
for
a
large
section
of
the
trip.
In
the
process
she
avoids
10
sets
of
traffic
lights
and
can
travel
quicker
on
the
freeway
for
part
of
her
journey.
She
arrives
at
3.17pm.
That’s
over
10
minutes
before
Sam
who
also
left
5
minutes
earlier.
It’s
amazing
how
much
time
a
little
planning
can
save
you!
Perform
the
activity
to
get
a
practical
idea
of
how
to
plan
an
alternative
and
direct
route
on
the
following
map.
Sam
is
driving
a
large
truck
from
A
to
B
(marked
on
the
map
below)
and
doesn’t
like
to
stop
too
much
at
traffic
lights
because
it
slows
him
down.
1. Start by choosing the most direct route for Sam from point A to B
2. Now
choose
the
most
efficient
route
that
Sam
could
take
so
he
doesn’t
have
to
continually
start
and
stop
at
traffic
lights.
Hint:
Use
the
map
legend
to
identify
the
factors
that
may
slow
him
down.
There
is
feedback
on
this
activity
at
the
back
of
this
Learner’s
Guide.
Identifying
features
on
the
map
will
also
help
when
you
have
to
take
certain
factors
into
account.
For
example
you
may
be
on
a
long
drive
and
want
to
plan
a
break
every
couple
of
hours
or
fill
up
with
fuel.
By
using
the
map
properly
you
could
identify
where
each
rest
area
or
service
station
is
and
the
distance
between
them.
Complete
the
activity
using
the
following
map
to
get
a
practical
idea
of
planning
a
long
haul
trip
with
specific
criteria
in
mind.
Dom
is
driving
from
Lismore
to
Newtown
in
his
truck.
He
needs
a
break
from
driving
every
2
hours
which
is
roughly
every
200km
and
accommodation
for
the
night
after
driving
for
eight
hours.
Using
the
map,
scale
and
legend
calculate
where
Dom
should
plan
to
stop
so
he
gets
a
break
every
2
hours
and
where
he
should
go
for
accommodation
after
driving
for
eight
hours.

Section outline
Once
you
have
planned
the
best
route
to
take
and
some
alternatives
in
case
you
run
into
trouble,
it
is
now
time
to
start
on
the
journey
and
follow
your
plan.
You
should
become
very
familiar
with
your
planned
route
on
the
map
before
leaving
so
you
can
follow
it
correctly.
You
may
want
to
make
some
notes
so
you
do
not
have
to
keep
referring
to
the
map
once
you
are
on
the
road,
or
you
may
highlight
the
path
you
have
to
take
on
the
map
for
easier
reference.
Another
method
is
to
break
the
route
into
stages,
reviewing
the
next
stage
after
the
previous
one.
This
will
help
to
paint
a
clearer
picture
of
the
route
in
your
mind.
It
is
important
you
have
used
the
legend
to
identify
any
features
such
as
buildings,
railroads,
cemeteries,
parks,
and
lakes
on
the
map
because
it
will
make
the
navigation
of
your
trip
a
lot
easier
and
assist
you
with
following
the
map.
If
you
see
a
landmark
on
your
trip
that
is
on
your
route
you
will
know
you
are
on
the
right
track.
When
following
the
map
it
will
help
if
you
keep
it
adjusted
to
the
direction
you
are
going.
This
will
make
it
clear
which
direction
you
are
travelling
in
and
which
way
you
have
to
turn.
Using
the
scale
to
keep
track
of
the
distance
you
have
travelled
will
also
give
you
a
good
indication
of
where
you
are
located
on
your
planned
trip.
If
you
have
been
driving
for
a
long
time
on
a
part
of
the
trip
that
was
planned
to
be
only
short,
it’s
a
good
hint
you
may
have
missed
a
turn
or
made
some
other
error.
Destination
After
successfully
following
your
planned
route
to
your
destination
there
is
still
one
very
important
thing
you
must
take
into
account.
Your
journey
is
not
over
until
you
have
parked
and
secured
your
vehicle.
You
should
plan
ahead
and
be
aware
of
the
parking
arrangements
as
much
as
possible.
You
should
understand
your
organisation’s
policy
and
procedures
when
it
comes
to
parking
and
securing
your
vehicle.
It
is
not
enough
to
plan
out
your
trip
and
then
not
know
what
to
do
when
you
arrive.
It
should
become
a
major
part
of
your
planning
so
you
can
finish
your
task
smoothly.
There
will
be
some
requirements
that
you
will
need
to
follow
depending
on
the
destination
and
type
of
load
you
are
carrying.
For
example
drivers
of
dangerous
goods
vehicles
must
ensure
that
parking
and
stopping
procedures
are
observed
(except
when
required
by
any
other
law
or
when
loading
and
unloading
the
vehicle)
so
they
do
not
park:
• in
a
built-‐up
area
with
public
access
• in
a
residential
area
• within
15
metres
of
a
public
or
private
building
• within
8
metres
of
another
vehicle
carrying
enough
dangerous
goods
to
require
warning
signs
to
be
displayed.
You
will
also
have
to
be
aware
of
any
restrictions
in
place
such
as
handicapped
areas,
no
standing
zones,
clearways
and
so
on.
Complete
the
following
activity
to
demonstrate
you
know
how
to
park
and
secure
your
vehicle
properly.
Write
down
the
key
points
of
your
organisation’s
policy
and
procedures
about
what
to
do
on
arrival
at
your
destination.
During
your
daily
activities
who
is
the
person
you
would
consult
with
to
find
out
about
the
parking
arrangements,
for
example
a
manager,
customer
and
so
on.

Every
organisation
will
have
different
records
they
keep
in
accordance
with
their
own
policy
and
procedures
and
relevant
legislation
to
document
the
movements
of
your
transport
operation.
For
example
a
driver
may
have
to
log
any
maintenance
required
or
kilometres
driven
and
so
on.
You
must
be
able
to
complete
the
required
documentation
correctly
so
you
can
do
your
job
properly.
It
is
important
that
you
know
exactly
what
is
expected
of
you
when
you
complete
any
documentation
regarding
the
type
of
transport
operation
you
are
to
undertake.
This
will
rely
upon
your
individual
workplace
and
it
is
up
to
you
to
become
competent
in
this
area.
You
must
ensure
your
records
are
kept
up-‐to-‐date
and
completed
correctly.
Locate
the
appropriate
documentation
you
are
required
to
fill
in
when
conducting
a
transport
operation.
Using
a
copy,
or
equivalent,
practice
filling
them
in
until
satisfied
you
thoroughly
understand
the
procedure.
Check with your manager or supervisor that they are satisfactory.

This
activity
is
a
practical
exercise
so
you
can
apply
what
you
have
learnt
from
this
unit.
It
will
involve
organising
with
your
supervisor
for
you
to
undertake
a
task
where
you
will
plan
a
route
and
follow
it
using
a
street
directory
or
road
map.
2. Identify
the
safest,
efficient,
secure
and
legal
route
to
the
destination
3. Plan
the
route
by
identifying
relevant
features
where
necessary
to
help
with
navigation
Complete the following checklist when you arrive at your destination:
Did
I
use
the
legend
and
symbols
of
the
map
to
identify
land
marks
to
help
me
with
my
navigation?
Did I use the scale to get an estimate of distance and travel times?
Was
my
plan
flexible
enough
for
me
to
take
an
alternative
route
in
case
my
preferred
one
became
unviable?
Did I take into account all relevant criteria when planning the trip?
Conclusion:
Could
I
have
done
anything
differently?
If
Yes,
list
them
below.
