??????????????????????Figure 1 ????????????????????????????????????????? More on UTM Northing values start at the south pole with the equator beingn (meters north) or more often expressed as 0000000mn Screens Commonly, screens will include: Satellite Status Location Navigation Plot/Track Waypoints can be marked (in the field) or entered as computer input  Plotting in UTM requires a scale device can be a template or the base-plate of the compass in some cases Confidence circles are used to indicate the “area” of the location GPS, like map and compass, requires practice for proficiency Combining Map and Compass Making Oranges and Apples Into Apples and Apples Orienting the Map Visually Using the Compass How and Why to Convert the Map to Magnetic Direction Using borders Using Tick-marks How not to… using the grid lines extending a line from the “compass rose” Taking a Map Bearing Remember, the compass is a protractor, the magnetic needle has NO function here Remember, use Tick-marks or borders OR magnetic north-south lines Extending out your lines Make sure where the “Direction of Travel” arrow is pointed Why Not Use Grid Lines ? You can, but remember, they are a different projection for GPS purposes For use in Maine, you will need to forget True North, use magnetic north declination number, subtract grid north factor and use the result to compute bearings Why bother ??? Well, most people won’t, but it does enable you to then use the vertical grid lines instead of drawing lines on the map Taking a Map BearingStep One Taking a Map BearingStep Two Routefinding with Map and Compass Whenever using field bearings think whether what it says makes sense to you But don’t doubt the compass Handrails Offsetting Backstops and Baselines Checkpoints Best Travel Routes are not usually an option in SAR that doesn’t compromise safety it does compromise comfort Triangulation By visual map orientation Much more accurate using the
