Last week, we asked you about navigating with a map and a compass, and many of you felt like a refresher would be useful. So, here are the basic steps to get your bearing and find your destination!

1. Set your bearing
Place the side of the compass along the line from your current location to your destination, with the direction-of-travel arrow pointing towards your destination.

2. Align the compass
Rotate the compass capsule to align its orienting lines with the map’s north–south meridian lines with the orienting arrow pointing north on the map.

3. Transfer the bearing
Take the compass off the map and hold it level. Turn yourself until the compass needle aligns with the orienting arrow on the compass capsule.

4. Follow your bearing
Look ahead, pick a landmark along your bearing, and walk towards it. Repeat until you reach your destination. Remember to check your progress by comparing landmarks with the map.

Happy navigating!
