Using Map and Compass Hillgrove High School

Cardinal Directions Never Eat Soggy Waffles NORTH EAST SOUTH WEST Sun rises SOUTH WEST Sun sets

ABC Method A-Align your compass on the map so that the long edge of the base is on a line from your present location to the desired destination. B-Bearings are found by holding the compass steady and rotating the dial (azimuth) so that the “N” on the azimuth is pointed north on the map. C-Courses are followed by picking up the compass and holding it in a horizontal position so that the magnetic needle is free to rotate. Pivot yourself until the orienteering arrow is aligned with the magnetic needle. The compass now points in the direction you need to travel to reach your desired destination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBhdI4sJWVY

Using a Compass Place compass flat in hand Direction of travel arrow forward Rotate azimuth with degree markings Keep compass level

Following a Bearing Leapfrogging: -Repeatedly identifying an object in the near distance or positioning a person in the in the near distance to maintain the proper bearing while navigating over a longer distance. -To leapfrog with a partner, one person goes in the desired direction to a distance of 20-30 meters. -Instruct the partner to move until aligned with the direction-of-travel arrow.

Components of a Topographic Map Legend: A chart on the map that identifies the meaning of symbols. Map scale: Ratio of distance on a map to a distance in the real world; topographic maps are commonly 1:50,000, which means that 1 centimeter (.4 inch) on a map equals 50,000 centimeters (19,685 inches)in the real world. Colors on Maps Blue: water Green: forested areas or vegetation White: open barren or grassy areas
