Distance Directly From Face Dial!
To determine distance in
miles or kilometers on any map, first determine
the scale of the map in which measurements will
be taken from. Match the map's scale
to the same scale on the map measure. Turn
the measuring wheel until the red needle is
aligned with zero on the matching scale.
Position the map measure so that the needle will
move clockwise when rolled along the map in the
direction of intended measurement. Place
the center of the measuring wheel on the
starting point, then begin to roll to take a
measurement. When the center of the
measuring wheel lands over the end point, lift
measure from map and read the distance from the
matching map scale.
Both the miles and kilometers
scales will only provide measuring distances within
approximately 36 inches in one full cycled
measurement. Longer map distances will require
separate measurements, and segments can then be
added together.

CASANOVA'S BRUNTON QUAD TOOL FIELD TEST REVIEW

Brunton Quad
Tool Review; Revised Dec.
6th 2005
By Gene Casanova
Map Measuring Tools
Of Any High Grade Quality And
Durability Are Hard To Fine Today.
When I First Unpacked And Handled
The New Brunton Quad Tool, I
Was Instantly Impressed At The Feel-Of-Quality,
The Quality and the simple practical
layout of the scales, on the new Burton Quad-Tool.
The Price May Be Increasing On The
Quad-Tool, But The Price Paid Will
Be Returned In A Long Service Life.
You Pay For A Service, The Quad Tool
Delivers A Durable And Accurate
Service. After Just The First
Use, It Has Provided The User With A
Level Of Service Well Worth The
Initial Investment. This Is An
Outstanding Durable, Non-Reflective,
Clear, Precision Multiple Measure
Scale For Working With Today's
Modern Navigation Methods And USGS
Maps.
The
high-quality material with
matte finish is impressive; and was not expected. The Brunton Quad-Tool is
definitely a high-grade professional
class, high quality measuring tool at an unbelievable
reasonable low price. The
scales are printed clearly and easy
to work with. I recommend this tool
for anyone who works with USGS Quad
Maps And Also GPS Data!
Working With UTM Is Fast And Easy
With The Included UTM Romer, Which
Is Calibrated For The USGS Quad Map!
I have found this tool to be a great
benefit in preplanning weekend
explorations to state and national
park as well as plotting points of
interest to check out later with the
help of a GPS system. The
high-quality material, with its non
reflective matte finish makes it
perfect for work indoors and out in
the field.
The Indispensable Link Between
Map, Compass & GPS!
Benefits For
Survey, Adventurers, Trail Enthusiast,
Navigators, Hunters, Fishing
Enthusiast Working With GPS
Technology
Anyone Who Uses GPS For Hiking Or
Wilderness Navigation, Should
Always Use The Most Current
Topographical Map Available, And
Know How To Read-And-Use The
Information Presented On The Map!
This
Unique Multi-Tool Enhances The Experience By
Providing A Fast Easy Way To Mark A
Point On Any USGS 7.5 Minute Quad Map,
And Read
The Exact Coordinates In A Simple
2-Number UTM Format, Which Can Then
Be Entered Into Any GPS-Receiver!
Most GPS Handheld Systems Will
Provide Navigational Aid By Pointing
To The Spot On Earth, Indicated By A UTM
Coordinate. A UTM Coordinate
Would Be Referred To As A "Waypoint"
When Working With GPS Technology.
Most GPS Receivers Provide A Feature
To Enable The User To Press A Button
To "Mark" (Save) The Current
Position Being Calculated By The GPS
Receiver. This Saved Marked
Position Is Referred To As A
"Waypoint". The UTM Coordinate
Of This New Waypoint Can Be Read On
The GPS-eiver's Display. By
Using The Brunton Quad Tool And A
USGS Map Of The Area, The UTM
2-Number Coordinate Of The Marked
Point, Can Be Quickly Plotted And
Marked In The Map!
The
Brunton Quad Tool Is The Link
Between Official USGS Navigation
Grade Printed Maps And Using GPS
Technology! Good Navigation
Practice Demands Plotting Current
Positions Over A Relative Period Of
Time, On A Map, While Traveling
(Hiking, Trekking, Riding, Climbing,
etc..). GPS Receivers Drain
batteries Quickly, And Therefore
Present A Major Risk To The User's
Survival/Life. By Developing
Proper Personal Navigation Skills
And Safe Practices, GPS Technology
Can Offer Navigation Aid Benefits
When Combined With USGS Maps And Our
'Brunton Quad Tool'.
With One Of Our Weatherproof USGS
Maps In Hand, A Quality
Navigation-Grade Compass, And A
Navigation-Aid-Quality
Proper-Functioning GPS-Receiver
System, Current Positions Are
Plotted Directly On The Map While
Traveling, Made Fast And Easy With
The Aid Of Our 'Brunton Quad Tool'.
USGS Quad Map Border Example
The UTM Grid System Is Marked On
USGS Topographic Maps With Blue Ticks
In The Map's Border; And Is Labeled
Using An Easting And Northing Coordinate
Format. Full UTM Labels
(4722000mN) Are In The Lower
Right-Hand And Upper Left-Hand
Corners Of The Map, With Other UTM
Labels Abbreviated (4731).
USGS Quad Map & UTM Roamer
Identifying A Point On Any USGS Quad
Map, In A Way That Can Be Used By
Any GPS Device And Shared With
Anyone, Has Now Become Extremely
Easy With The Use Of The Quad Romer;
A Scale Included On The New Brunton
QUAD TOOL. Place The
Corner Of The Romer Over The Exact
Spot On The Map To Be Plotted.
Now Simply Read The Meters To The
Left Of The Corner First, then add
that meter number to the value on
the scale at the left side of the
square '662' (see image above, left
lower corner). The formula is
600 meters + 66000 = 662600 meters
East (easting value). Now Read
The Meters Down From The Corner,
then add to the value of the bottom
of the square. 4722000nN.
The Formula is 540 meters + 4722000
= 4722540 meters North (northing
value). Now add the zone
number, found at the bottom of the
quad map and note the datum of the
quad map. The Spot's
Final Coordinates are "Zone12 662600
4722540 Using Map Datum NAD-27 US".
You Have Just Plotted The Spot's UTM
Coordinates. The UTM
Coordinates Refer To The Unique
Exact 1 Meter Square On The Earth's
Surface!
Slope
Slope in degrees, is the
angle of
inclination. The Quad Tool Slope
scale is primarily
for maps using 40-foot contour
intervals. The contour
intervals (40 ft.)
are marked with light brown lines
and the index
contours (200 ft.) with dark brown
lines.
USGS Quad Map Sample
Quad Tool Being Used
To Measure Slope Angle.
In This Example,
The Slope Angle
Equals Approximately 30-Degrees.
Surprise
- A High-Grade Map Case, Included
Free!
Another Surprise,
Was The High-Grade Map Case From
Brunton. Casanova's Provides
The Burton Quad-Tool With The
Brunton Premium Map Case. This
Case Is Small And Holds A Standard
Quad Map Folded. It Features A
Non-Reflective Matte Surface, Which
Is Perfect For Reading A Map Through
The Clear Flexible Material.
This is A Premium-Grade Durable
Flexible Soft Watertight Case, Which
Is Large Enough To Protect A Folded
Map And Small Items From Moisture,
Mud, Sand, And Snow. This
Non-Reflective Map Case Is Perfect
To Hold Your Topographic Map,
Indicating The Hiking Trails, While
Hiking/Mountaineering In The Rains
Of Tasmania Australia. Yes
This Map Case Goes With Me On World
Adventures Now. This Map Case
Will Work For Those Simple Road Maps
On A Road Trip! Remember To
Take A Map Case, Even If You Didn't
Plan Any Trails. You Never
Know What The Day Has To Offer!
I Found This Out First Hand, And
Enjoyed A Wonderful Day In
Foggy Constant Steady Light Rain
During A Day Of Mountaineering In
Tasmania. Our First Topographical
Map Ended Up Dissolving Into Pulp
Mushy Paper At The End Of The Hike,
Back At The SUV. I Didn't Have
A Map Case Along, Since The Day's
Mountaineering Was Unexpected And
Not Planned; Spontaneous
Adventuring. For Traveling, This Is
Case Offers A Very Lightweight
Option For Map Protection; And Is
Now On The List Of Basic Items To
Pack!
The
Quad Tool Comes With Great Detailed
Field Measuring Instructions Printed
On A Sheet Of Weather Resistant
Paper And Folded To Fit Inside The
Map Case. Clear And Easy To
Understand Instructions With Graphic
Examples Are Included.
Is It Worth
Owning?
Over the many years at
Casanova's, we have become accustomed to
customers asking us, "What Do You Use?", or
"What Do You Own?".
I now own a Brunton Quad-Tool
and keep it ready to use along with my other professional
navigation instruments, tools and
maps. I own and use the latest
USGS maps, printed from the
USGS official collection of USGS
Topo Maps Provided In The Official 'ALL Topo
Maps:' State Reference Sets On
CD-ROM. And Remember, Constantly
Practice Your Navigation And GPS
Skills.
Conclusion
The Brunton Quad-Tool, Being
Specially Scaled For Use With USGS
Maps, Makes It A Valuable Tool For
Those People Who Work With USGS
Maps, Professionals And Outdoor
Enthusiast Alike. It Also
Works Well With Avalanche Work
Related Applications And Public Land
Survey Applications. The
Quality, Functionality, And Value
Are All Above Average; Outstanding.
