Finding a 4, 6, and 8 digit coordinate using MGRS / Military Protractor Remember the most important rule RIGHT and UP

How to find distance between two points (straight line and Road)

Pace Count Learn your Pace Count – Counting the number of paces you take to estimate the distance you travel. You need to determine your standard pace for various conditions (at least one for walking and one for running) on a fixed course of known length. Because the map is flat, it takes more paces to cover the same map distance going up or down hill than on flat terrain.

Pace Count Lay out a straight Line 50 Meters Long Walk the 50 Meters do an About Face and Walk it Again. Count every time your Foot touches the Ground. Alternate Method is to count every time your left foot touches the ground.

Pace Count Up Hill- Paces Are Naturally Longer Down Hill Paces Are Naturally Shorter
