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).
A few examples:
Map scale Measured distance
1:100 4 cm
1:10,000 10 cm
