Back Tracking To Your Starting Point

Where Am I?

With map and compass, you can locate your current position by learning and practicing these simple steps. This skill can be used to keep track of your position or to mark a position for future returns.

 

1)	Choose two landmarks in your view and find them on your map.
2)	Now hold your compass horizontal in front of your body, and point the "Direction of Travel Arrow" on the compass, towards one of the landmarks.
3)	Now rotate the compass dial until the north end of the compass needle is aligned with the ?? or north arrow printed on the compass dial.
4)	Now read the compass bearing at the Index Line.
5)	Place the compass on your map with the edge of the baseplate touching the landmark on the map.
6)	Pivot the compass baseplate on the landmark point until the Orienting Arrow aligns with the Magnetic North lines.
7)	Draw a line on the map, starting at the landmark and running along the edge of the baseplate, across the map.
8)	Repeat the above steps with the second landmark.
9)	Where the two lines intersect is your location! Wow...Cool!
