quick and easy no matter which type of topographic map
you’re using. Also, there are 1/20-inch and millimeter
rules for mapping and silicone feet for map gripping. You can easily set the geared declination from the
bottom of the compass, because the declination is facing
you when using the gear screw. The bezel and grip are
also convenient and easy to use. The Clinometer provides
the tool to measure angles of inclination. Other added

Accuracy Is Required, Hold At eye Level And Sight; And
At Waist Level When Quick Accuracy Is Needed. The
Ranger Ultra Is A Practical Instrument For Measuring
Angles Of Inclination. The Long Side Of The
Compass Coincides With The Slope Of The Terrain And A
Separate Clinometer Needle And Slope Angle Scale,
Located In The Compass Capsule, Is Used To Read The
Angle. When The Compass Is Used With A Map, Or
When Used With Map Bearings, Adjustment Must Be Made For
Declination. The Ranger Ultra Provides A Precision
Geared Offsetting Mechanism Used To Set And Hold In
Place A Declination Correction. This Adjustment

On A Map. Using A Triangulation Method, Find Two
Sites On Your Map Of The Area, Which You Can Recognize
By Eyesight, On The Terrain. Take Bearings Of Both
Points And Plot Them On The Map With A Sharp Pencil.
Where The Two Lines Meet Is Your Exact Position; Called
Taking Cross Bearings. Learn, Practice, And Always
