Place the compass on the map.Align the centimeter-marked line(5) with that meridian closest to your position,so that
the upper lid (1) points to the north of the geographic map. Meridians are parallel lines running from the upper to the
lower part of the map .
Holding the compass in position ,rotate the map until the north-seeking needle(10) on the dial coincides with the

LET’S DEFINE THE MARCHING DIRECTION ON THE MAP
a) After you aligned you map with the north pole(the description in Point 6）,draw a line on the map starting from you
position to your final destination.
b) Place the compass on the map with one contact edge along the line which is running from your own position to
the objective .the compass lid indicates the direction of the objective.
c) Read the value of marching direction on the compass card (13) which corresponds to the index line of the
Glow-in-the Dark Circle(12) .
d) Remove the compass from the map ,look at the compass card (13)and turn around until the value of your
marching direction(defined as described point C )
e) Find an auxiliary destination point which must be on the same survey line and start following it .
f) Repeat this operation until you reach your final destination.
