1. Find a visible object that is identifiable on your
map and follow steps 1-3 of the ‘Sight a bearing’
procedure.
2. On the map, place the long edge of the compass on
the object (1).
3. Turn the compass until the orienting lines and
meridian lines are parallel and draw a line from the
object.
4. Choose a second object and repeat steps 1-3.
The intersection of the two lines indicates your
position, and the closer the angle between the
intersecting lines is to 90°, the greater the accuracy.
7. Measure slope incline
The scale for declination correction on the back of the
capsule also functions as a scale for the clinometer.
1. Turn the capsule so that the bearing index is at 270°
(due West) and tilt compass on its side with the
declination scale downwards.
2. If you have a clear view across the slope, align the
compass to the slope with the back of the compass is
facing you.
