Point The Base Plate To Your Destination
Place your compass on the map with the edge (as shown) along the desired line of travel.
Set Compass Heading
Turn the compass dial until "N" and the orienting lines on the base of capsule point to the north on your map. Your direction in degrees is read at the Index Line on the dial.
Follow Your Heading
Remove the compass from the map, and hold it level so the Magnetic Needle is free to turn. Turn your body until the red end of the needle aligns with the red Orienting Arrow and "N" on the dial. Using the Direction of Travel Arrow, sight a distant landmark and move to it. Repeat this process until you reach your destination.
