that the longer yellow line (No. 2) aligns with the sight wire
(1) and the sight slot (4). Then place the compass either on
the edge of the map or on a line of longitude (running north-
south) on the map provided that one is plotted there – so that
the sight slot (4) and sight wire (1) form a line (No. 3a). Now
turn the map, along with the compass, so that the north ar-
row (6) points toward the sight wire (No. 3b). Now you have
your bearings!
3. How do I get to my destination?
On the map, draw a line between the point where you are
(your location) and the point where you would like to go (your
destination). Then place the compass on this line so that the
sight wire (1) and the sight slot (4) match up and point in the
same direction. Now turn the sight glass (2) on the rotating
rim (3) so that the longer yellow line points to your destination
and the sight wire and slot continue to form a line. The yellow
line shows you the number of degrees (7) between your loca-
tion and your destination. You must hike in the direction the
degrees indicate. During your hike, hold your compass so
that the number of degrees always matches the yellow line,
and always walk in that direction.
TIP: It's easier if you occasionally aim your compass at and
walk toward particular points (e.g. a church steeple, rock,
or observation tower) that lie in your hiking path. To do this,
set the part of the compass with the sight wire in a vertical
position. Hold the compass so that the yellow line matches
the number of degrees (7) to your destination. Then you can
aim for the point (No. 1) through the sight slot (4) with the
sight wire (1).
4. Where am I?
Turn the sight glass (2) on the rotating rim (3) so that the
longer yellow line forms a line with the sight wire (1) and the
sight slot (4).
Place the compass on the map, as described in the section
'How do you orient a map?' Aim at an objective (e.g. a church)
(No. 1) whose location you can fi nd on the map through the
sight slot (4) with the sight wire (1). Through the magnifying
glass (5), read the number of degrees (7) on the 360° scale
and remember that number. Then place the compass on the
map. Align the compass on the map so that the sight wire (1)
points toward your destination (No. 4, object A) and lines up
with your degree number. On the map, plot a line as shown
in No. 4. The north line will help you with this.
