How to Use This Calculator

Enter your stride length (meters or inches) — typically measured on a 100m course.
Select terrain type: Paved Road, Gravel/Trail, Light Bush, Heavy Bush, or Sand/Snow.
Set slope (degrees) if moving uphill or downhill — this affects stride length.
Enter total distance to calculate adjusted paces needed.
Use Adjusted Paces as your navigation counter target for dead reckoning land navigation.

How the result changes with Stride Length

Stride Length: Your natural stride length (one step) measured on flat ground.
Terrain Type: Type of terrain you will be traversing.
Slope: Average slope angle of the terrain.
Total Distance: Total distance to travel in meters.
