STEP 1
You may not be able to get from where you are to your ultimate destination in one go. In that case, you should break the journey down into more manageable steps. Set the compass on the map so the edge of the base plate (remember what that is?) serves as a line connecting your current position to where you want to go. You should be able to draw a line along the edge, as if it were a ruler'which it basically is.
STEP 2
Set the compass heading by rotating the dial until the letter 'N''for north'lines up with magnetic north indicated on the map. You should be able to find a compass rose indicating which way is which.
