Navigation skill 1 : Estimating distance to travel using the map

After learning the pace factor , how is the map used to estimate how long are should work from one
point to another to figure 9.8 , look at the baseplate of the compass notice the skills on the sides , simply
put one end of the compass scale at the starting point ( triangle/ red dot) and lay the scale along the line
going to the control ( Circle/blue dot) . Make sure the scale on the baseplate has the same scale as the
map. Otherwise, one need math skills to convert if the route is a straight line , then it could be
approximated how many meters are the distance and can roughly estimate also how many paces one
will make to get there.

Navigation skill 2 and 3: Precision and rough map Reading

Let as recall the steps are very useful because they tell us certain features and their relative location of
the earth surface that we plan to traverse. Meaning for example , it will show that a boulder is standing
next to a river or an open field is just behind the hill.
