Question 2

From map to compass, what do you do if you have an east declination (4° east)

What do you do if you have a west declination (4° west)

Answer 2

Subtract for east

Add for west

Question 3

When going from a compass to a map, what do you do when the declination is towards the east? (4° east)

West?

Answer 3

Add declination for east

Subtract for west

Question 4

You travel 200 meters on a bearing of 0°, then 400 meters on a bearing of 90°, how would you get back?

Answer 4

Take the back azimuth (+180) of the last bearing then the first:

270° for 400 m then 180° for 200 m

Question 5

Answer 5

Their ability to accurately ascend and track locations, not specific positions

Question 6

Answer 7

Topo maps

Question 8

On a 1:24,000 scale map, one inch = how many feet?

Answer 8

2000

Question 9

In order to traverse around an obstacle, how would you change your direction of travel via degrees?

Answer 9

Create a square:

Add 90° for right, subtract for left
Then make a right angle that matches your Origional bearing, (bottom side)
Continue until you pass the obstacle and make another right angle (left or right side)
Walk the same distance as the bottom side, turn into your Origional bearing and continue. (Top side)
