Q

what is a grid azimuth

A

when an azimuth is plotted on a map between point A (start) and point B (end), the points are joined together by a straight line.

a protractor is used to measure the angle between grid north and the drawn line.

this measured azimuth is the grid azimuth

27
18,17determine location by resection
1. orient map using compass 2. ID 2-3 known distant locations on the ground and mark them on a map 3. measure the magnetic azimuth to one of hte known positions from your location using the compass 4. convert magnetic azimuth to grid azimuth 5. convert the grid azimuth to a back azimuth 6. cusing a protractor, draw a line for the back azimuth on the map from the known position back toward your unknown position 7. repeat for a second position and third position 8. the intersection is your location 9. determine the grid coordinates to the desired accuracy
