We did a map and compass class a little while back. It was a good time.
Really though, your off to a good start. Learning to orient yourself in a place your already familiar with is the best way to get a feel for the map and compass. There are a lot of really good books on the subject. The best one I've seen is the Sierra Clubs guide to orienteering. (navigation is on water, orientation is on land).
