2. Orienting the map
To better understand your surroundings, you should use your
compass to rst turn your map in the right direction. This
ensures the geographic features around you are in the same
general direction as you see them on the map.
1. Hold your compass level and look at the red end of the
needle to see where north is.
2. Turn the map so that the northern upper edge is pointing
north.

3. Navigate with map and compass
When navigating with a map and compass, you are rst
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.
