Most maps use true north as a reference. When adjustment far magnetic declination is
complete, azimuth readings will be with respect to true north, same as tbe map.

4 -- Azimuth Measurement
Azimuth is a term used far direction. Azimuth is normally measured clockwise, in degrees
with true north being Oº Bearing is a term afien used when measuring with a quadrant
type instrument. From this point forward, description of pocket transit use will involve the
Oº through 360º graduated circle, and assume the pocket transit is adjusted far magnetic
declination. Example of Azimuth: 11 a mountain is directly east of your position, the azi
muth from your position to the mountain is 90º lf the mountain is directly south of your
Caution: The magnetic needle is highly sensitive. When sighting an azimuth, keep the
pocket transit away from magnetic materials. such as watches, belt buckles,

Since the 30 minute line is closest, the total angle is 26º + 30º (26º30' or 26.50º)
When percent grade is required use the percent scale directly above the vernier.
1. Read nearest percent grade al the vemier's center line -- 50%. (Fig 16)
For greater accuracy, ca/cu/ate the percent grade using the following equation.
