6. Finding your location
You can sight two or more objects and use triangulation to
accurately determine where you are.
1. Find a visible object that is identiable on your map and
follow steps 1-3 of the ‘Sight a bearing’ procedure.
2. On the map, place the long edge of the compass on the
object (1).
3. Turn the compass until the orienting lines and meridian
lines are parallel and draw a line from the object.
4. Choose a second object and repeat steps 1-3.
The intersection of the two lines indicates your position, and
the closer the angle between the intersecting lines is to 90°,
the greater the accuracy.
