ROCKS, HOLES, ETC.
IN CASE OF DUNES, INDICATES THE AREA
HAS A CUT OF DUNES.
ONE EXCLAMATION
LEAST SEVERE. INDICATES A

REPRESENT ANY GRAVE

TO DEPICT DANGERS TO BE
FOUND IN THE DITCHES, HOLES
AND STEPPES + AREAS OF SAND
AND DUNES
DOUBLE EXCLAMATION
LESS SEVERE. INDICATES THAT THE
SECTION HAS SOME TYPE OF DIFFICULT
TERRAIN.
ACCREDITED WITH
 4. SPEED ZONE INDICATIONS
THE SZ CIRCLE IS
FILLED WITH ORANGE, THE PERMITTED SPEED IS
AND IMPLIES THAT INDICATED IN THE

THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION HERE
IS THAT THERE IS A WADI OR RIVER
AND THE HEADING VALUE GIVES YOU
AN APPROXIMATE HEADING TO
ENTER INTO THAT.
