The “Direction of travel arrow should be pointing where you want to go on the map. Rotate the capsule until the ‘N’ on the compass points to north on the map. The lines inside the compass should now line up with the grid lines on the map. When you have set the compass, write the number at the top of the compass dial next to “Heading” above. This shows you have used your compass correctly to gain your bearing. Holding the compass in front of your chest, with the direction of travel arrow pointing away from you, turn your body until the red end of the needle points to the north on the compass dial. You are now facing your desired direction. Choose a landmark in that direction and walk towards it via a suitable route. When you arrive at your destination, repeat the process to your next waypoint.
