3. Navigate with map and compass

When navigating with a map and compass, you are first
determining a direction of travel on the map and then
transferring that direction to the real world.

1. Place the compass on the map between your

starting point (A) and your target (B).











2. Turn the capsule until the orienting lines are parallel

to the meridian lines on the map with N pointing
north.











3. Hold compass level at waist height and turn yourself

until the needle and orienting arrow are aligned.
NOTE: Compensate for declination. See section 5.
