Check your position by Backward Bearing Directions
• Spot two distant identifiable landmarks like mountains,
light-house, fort or building from yourcurrent position, for
example the mountains A and B.
• Check out the backward bearing directions of mountains
A and B from your current position, for example 135°
from mountain A and 270° from mountain B.
• Use a ruler to draw a line 135° from the north at the
mountain A to your current position on the map. Draw
another line 270° from the north at the mountain B to
your current position on the map.
• Your current position on the map will be the intersection
(point A) of the lines 135° from the mountain A and 270°
from the mountain B.
The Compass Directions
• During a trekking, the Watch can keep your course in a
correct way. For example, the correct trail starts from
point A and finishes at point E as drawn on the adjacent
map.
• Mark the points (identifiable landmarks) where the trail
turns its direction or the trail branches its way, such as
the points A, B, C, D and E on the adjacent map.
• Find out the bearing directions of point B from point A
(315°), point C from point B (0°), point D from point C
(225°), and then point E from point D (315°).
• During the trekking, make sure that the heading
direction is 315° from point A to point B. Performing the
similar checking in other sections of the trail helps you
keep your course correctly.
MPORTANT: If you are in doubt of the directions and
positions of the trail, consult the park administration office
before starting the trekking.
