5. Hiking to a destination on off-road terrain

The yellow lines on the sight glass (2) are intended for fast

walking under difficult conditions. There are two lines, one long-

er and one shorter. Together, they make a 45° angle. First orient

your compass toward north, then turn the rotating sight glass

(2) with the rotating rim (3) so that the yellow line points in the

direction that you want to travel. Now you can take a quick look

at your compass at any time. As you walk, simply orient the

compass toward the north and then hike the direction that the

line indicates. You can also use this method when you can no

longer see your destination, such as if you are hiking through

valleys and depressions.

6. How can I determine the distance to my goal?

A centimetre scale (8) and a measuring scale (9) are on the side

of your compass. These can help you determine distance. Lo-

cate the scale of the map you are using. The scale of a map can

usually be found in one of the bottom corners.

If you have a map with a scale of 1:500, then 1 cm on the map

corresponds to 500 cm in reality. You can measure distance on

the map with the centimetre scale (8) and then calculate the

distance in reality.

You can only use the compass measuring scale (9) with maps

that have a scale of 1:50,000. If you have a map with this scale,

you can then read the metres right off the measuring scale (9).
