Nick, I used have had both editions of this book (one of my 2 Dobermans likes to read and she read my 2nd edition for me) The main difference between the 2 editions is that the 3rd has more info on using GPS, radios, and the internet. Other than that, the prinicpals of navigation really haven't changed since the invention of the compass and pocket chronometers. I would get the 3rd edition (because I'm really into the GPS and computers) unless the wait is extremely long- but then one of my quirks is always thinking that I need the latest and greatest whatever.
