One of the other important features of an orienteering compass is
the lines in the plastic base that run parallel to the long edges.
These can be lined up with Latitude and Longitude lines on
topographic maps to ensure extreme accuracy in your traveling.
The best way to progress from this point is to actually purchase
a compass and read the instructions (if you don't have one), and then
use the rest of this tutorial for training and reference. Compasses
made by "S I L V A" have an excellent reputation and are guaranteed
accurate for life. They are available from many camping stores, mail
order firms, and chain stores (some K-Marts, Shop-Ko's, etc.). If you
can't find any, information on purchasing one,at cost, is available
at the end of this tutorial.

The next page contains an exercise to practice using a compass.
After that, using map and compass together, adjusting for declination
and judging distances by paces will be discussed. If you have not
already done so, now would be a good time to review the definitions
at the end of this lesson, entitled "Define.31" and "Define.32" .
If you have had any difficulty so far, it would be best to review the
previous lessons before continuing.
