Answer 313

When an azimuth is plotted on a map between point A and point B (ending point), the points are joined together by a straight line. A protractor is used to measure the angle between grid north and draw line, and this measured azimuth is the grid azimuth

Answer 314

Purpose is to determine grid coordinates, shot azimuth to position by intersecting azimuths shot from two known positions. From known grid coordinates, shot azimuth to position you want to know grid coordinates. Convert to grid and plot on map Repeat from another known grid location - intersection of two azimuths is the grid location of position.

Answer 315

Purpose to determine your current location by resetting the azimuth from your location to two known locations. From your location, shot magnetic azimuth to a feature you know the grid coordinates for. Convert to grid and plot the back azimuth on the map. Staying in the same location, shot another magnetic azimuth to another known feature. Convert to grid and plot the back azimuth on a map. Determine the grid coordinates where the two back azimuths cross each other This is your current grid coordinates

Answer 316

When orienting a map with a compass, remember that the compass measures magnetic azimuths. Since the magnetic arrow points to magnetic north, pay special attention to the declination diagram. there are two techniques used: 1. Determine direction of declination and its value from diagram. With map in horizontal position, take straightedge on the left side of compass and place along north/south grid line with the cover of the compass pointing toward he top of the map. This places the fixed black index line of the compass parallel to the north/south grid lines. Keeping compass aligned, rotate map and compass together until magnetic arrow s below fixed black index line on compass. Rotate map and compass in direction of declination diagram. If the magnetic north arrow on the map is to the left of the grid north, check compass reading to see if it equals the G-M angle given n declination diagram. (Map is oriented). If magnetic north is to right of grid north, check the compass reading to see if it equals 360 degrees minus the GM angle 2. Determine direction of the declination and its value from the declination diagram. Using any north/south grid line, draw a magnetic azimuth equal to G-M angle with a protractor. If declination is easterly (right) the drawn line is equal to value of G-M, then align the straightedge alongside the drawn line on the map. Rotate map and compass until magnetic arrow of compass is balanced elow the black fixed index line.
