Locating Position Using Intersection; Total Darkness Usage - Cammenga PRECISION LENSATIC Instructional Booklet

G. LOCATING POSITION USING INTERSECTION
1. Orient the map to the terrain.
2. Sight an azimuth to any visible terrain feature that appears
on the map.
3. Place the fully opened lensatic compass on the map with
the scale edge running through the terrain feature and with
the compass reading the same as the azimuth sighted. Draw
a line along the scale edge.
4. Pick another visible terrain feature and sight its azimuth.
For greater accuracy the two lines should be approximately
right angles.
5. Repeat step 3.
6. The point of intersection accurately locates your position
on the map.
7. From here you can determine the azimuth of bearing to
any terrain feature shown on the map as long as your map is
oriented.
H. NIGHT-TIME USE

chin and the belt, keeping the North arrow under the
Luminous Bezel Indicator.
